I believe that the 6455DSK comes with a tool from SD to program the flash.
The so called 'Flash boot' on a 6455 just executes from Flash -
fetching everything 8 bits at a time - very s-l-o-w.
You will probably want it to copy itself to RAM for performance
reasons - OR just put an ethernet boot loader in flash an boot it that
way. It would be much less hassle [I think that TI has an ethernet
boot loader at ti.com].

I would definitely use ethernet - unless you want to venture into RapidIO.
