By default, the ROM in the Sitara AM3359 will boot from the MMC1 interface first (the onboard eMMC), followed by MMC0 (MicroSD), UART0 and USB0.

If the boot switch (S2) is held down during power-up, the ROM will boot from the SPI0 Interface first, followed by MMC0, USB0 and UART0. This allows the BeagleBone Black to bypass the onboard eMMC and boot from the removable uSD (provided no valid boot device is found on SPI0.) This can be used to recover from a corrupted onboard eMMC.

The Sitara AM3359 will try to load and execute the first stage bootloader called "MLO" from a Fat 12/16 or 32 bit MBR based filesystem. If using eMMC, this file is loaded using RAW mode. This means the ROM looks for a TOC at four specific offsets.

MLO is a first stage uBoot Bootloader designed to load a second stage uBoot bootloader with enhanced features. This second stage bootloader is also found on the FAT partition with the filename of "u-boot.img"
