    Hi Jay,

    Flash card are traditionally connected to the IDE controller and would require to initialize this controller before to access it. You also need to transfer data to the RAM before to execute the code as flash card doesn't support eXecute-in-Place.

    This two operations (IDE intitialization + transfer to the RAM) are both done by the bootloader itself... that then need to be stored in another location.

    The usual way is to store the bootloader in a standard NOR flash and the rest of the system in the flash card. I unfortunatly don't see any better solution...
