If I remember correctly, the uboot provided on the stock eMMC image was = configured to see if the SD card had a Linux kernel and load the kernel = from that if it was there. If the SD did not have a Linux kernel, it = would fall back to eMMC. Of course, if you=E2=80=99re willing to hold the boot switch, you can = boot from SD without changing the eMMC. Tim
