Executive Summary

The goal of this project is to give the U-boot boot-loader the ability to mount different partitions on start-up. This would allow the user to dual-boot the beagle board by controlling the boot sequence with a user button or RS-232 link.

Currently the project is still in the planning phases and there is no functionality.

We hope to have this project functional by the tenth week of winter term at Rose-Hulman.
