Open2x And Sd Kernel Loading

[Fueler]

Will Open2X allow the kernel and OS components be loaded from the SD card? That way for testing we could just place the newer OS on the SD card without the risk of bricking the GP2X?

Btw, cannot wait till its released!

Open2X doesn't reflash uboot, so if you want to load a kernel from SD you'd have to flash art's uboot

Open2x's own U-Boot also supports booting off SD (in fact most of us use SD based images for testing).

That said, you really should not be flashing U-Boot at all unless you have a very good reason and more importantly a way to unbrick your unit .
