== Introduction ==
This document has been written and tested with the software/hardware combination described in the history table above. However it contains general concept that can be adapted on any DAVE Embedded Systems' Linux platform using the SPL.
We'll explain how to program and configure a [[Category: AxelLite|Axel Lite]] to boot in standalone mode, without the need of a system microSD card or a NFS server, with two options:
* booting with NOR + NAND
** U-Boot will fetch Linux kernel binary images (kernel + device tree) from on-board NOR flash memory, while later the OS will mount the root file system from a NAND partition.
* Boot the system via SD or NFS as described into the [[XELK_Quick_Start_Guide|Quick_start_guide]]
* By default, the NAND is already partitioned to allow booting from NAND-only (see next section) and, thus, some partitions are reserved for U-boot and kernel images. Here we won't modify this default configuration. The [[Memory Tecnology Device (MTD)|MTD]] partitions can be dumped with <code>/proc/mtd</code> (the partition's name should be self-explanatory)

* Format and initialize ''nand-ubi'' partition, which in our case is <code>mtd7mtd8</code>, using [[Memory Tecnology Device (MTD)#UBI|UBI]] with:
