Hi All, Looking through some of the queries happening in the list, I had been playing around trying to use as little of the pre-build files as possible to do a 2430 boot up from scratch. In the process of this, I decided to document all the steps I had done.. attached is a txt and pdf version of the same. I hope it will be useful to someone who is starting off on the board for the first time. Most of the document was written with a sleepy eye, so please let me know if you find any bugs or ways to improve the document (the txt version is a generated file so it will lack the images of the pdf...). Regards, Nishanth Menon
