Hello tshering,

is the cat /proc/cmdline after trying to boot from the external SD? If so, it looks like it doesn't work. I was going to ask about the KeyPad (byte 1) value but found its value on the net (1Key). I also found the u-boot sources for the Touch to be different, but the relevant part is the same. After some reading I draw the following conclusions:

The Touch does not use the BootOpt flag at all. From the u-boot sources I believe it will boot the system partition on an external SD card when:
  • the external SD card is present
  • the upgrade key is pressed
  • and the power button is pressed
As there is only one button I suppose it functions as upgrade key.

However, if it fails to detect the SD card or the power button press it will apparently boot into recovery.

Good luck
Stefan
