Can I install linux from SD card?

hello guys

I have a s3c2440 7 inch (VT-8500) and I wanna install linux on it because
of win ce usb camera problems.

I think I won't have such problems in linux.

Now, the product that Im using, doesn't have any com port or usb device
port and the only way that I can install linux or win ce is SD card.

I have installed a win ce before by downloading the file
vt-8500software.rar and taking it in SD card.

the question is that is there any way to do this for linux?

thanx

Try here (from the Links page on the Wiki)

Elia,

Yes you are correct.  usb camera is working fine in my case with
mjpg-streamer.  I hv also modified some plugins for my use.  I am very
satisfied with mjpg-streamer and the camera.

Installing linux on SDCARD is very simple.

1.  get and copy proper u-boot into flash.
2.  prepare sd card with kernel and file system
    (if u want, i can give u my kernel, so u need not build it)
3.  set and save some u-boot environment variables which will load kernel
from sd card.

If interested, i will send u detailed steps.

Hello,
   I know this is an old post. But this is a question for Elia. I am trying
to install winCe on my netbook and I can't find the software
vt-8500software.rar on the links out there on the net. If you still have
this file, could you please upload it to mediafire so I can download it?
I'd greately appreciate it!
