Ahh, I was under the impression that it tried to use u-boot from the =
SD-card, my bad.

For my purpose it would be nice to be able to =E2=80=9Cdualboot=E2=80=9D =
OS=E2=80=99s by just using a SD-card with the wanted OS on it, and let =
the stock system be on the eMMC.

I=E2=80=99ll play around with it at bit and see if I can get it to at =
least load a kernel.

I guess that means that I need the extlinux way of things to get it =
