File:Pine64 board booted over SPI.jpg

This picture is showing the Pine64 board, which is booting over SPI (the SPI0 pins on the Pi-2 Connector) with the help of Olimex A13-OLinuXino-Micro. The A13-OLinuXino-Micro board is emulating the SPI NOR Flash behaviour and uploading the boot0 bootloader.

See the following U-Boot branch for the demo code to run on the A13-OLinuXino-Micro. Serial console output on A13-OLinuXino-Micro: U-Boot 2016.03-dirty (Jan 01 1970 - 00:00:00 +0000) Allwinner Technology

CPU:  Allwinner A13 (SUN5I) I2C:  ready DRAM: 256 MiB

Emulating SPI NOR flash on SPI2...  All 32768 bytes of the emulated NOR flash data have been sent. The average transfer speed: 702 KB/s.
