     I'm trying to load a new Image and deploy it on the Torpedo DM 3730 Wireless SOM through an SD Card. I currently have an image loaded and programmed into NAND that was based upon the default configuration "defconfig.new-bluez" to complete the initial Linux Bluetooth tutorial which I completed all the way through. Now trying to load an image based upon a new configuration in which I've only added a few files to the root file system I'm unable to load but the current image programmed in NAND opens up fine.

    The block where it's looking for the mmc1 shows it recognizes the card is there but is unable to read "boot.scr". I've tried this with two different SD cards as well as different image configurations that were both default and custom but I receive the same message. Any help in changing this would be great!

    You have to interrupt the boot process when u-boot starts. You can do that by pressing any key. There is usually 3 second timeout unless you changed it. If you want too long, it will just boot from flash.

    Once you interrupt it, you get a u-boot prompt.

    From there, you should be able to 'run makeyaffsboot' again to reload the image from the SD card.
