I would assume you already checked this Hardware Setup page:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GSG:_AM35x_EVM_Hardware_Setup

Then you would need to check the Boot from SD/MMC page:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM35x_EVM_Boot_from_SD/MMC_card

As of the software load, you can build a minimal rootfs image (e.g. 
core-image-minimal) with all the BSP components and setup an SD card as 
described above. You'll get the MLO, u-boot, uImage and rootfs as the
output of the build, that you need to load on to the card.
