Yes? If so, that's a problem. Thanks! -- Tom

Thanks! > It still tries to run Linux boot from SD card first: "run mmcboot;" \ and if it fails, it tries to run Android from eMMC: "run emmc_android_boot; " \ If that's a problem for some boards and you want them to run standard Linux from eMMC, I can try to rework that patch to choose automatically, which one to run (Linux or Android), e.g. using $partitions and $partitions_android environment variables. Or we can add some global CONFIG_ANDROID option to choose between distributions. Which one would be better? > -- > Tom
