ok, but the initial system (kernel) etc. should boot from internal flash, only data/big packages should be on SD > Second, flashing the image on an SD card is very easy and can be done flashing a new image is as easy as: scp image openwrtbox: ssh openwrtbox sysupgrade image > And last but not least: you don't touch the onboard flash and > therefore it's less risky and you don't play with losing the product's > warranty. that is not true. the product is intended to be flashed, it comes with SDK and linux, so there is no loosing of warranty. it is riskier to flash on SD (it's NAND) than to use NOR-Flash (builtin). NOR has no bit-errors, but NAND has - thats the reason for cheap USB-sticks. This is the reason to have the bootloader/kernel etc. on NOR. bye, Bastian
