Thanks that's good news, I don't have a BBB yet as nobody seems to have any stock but hopefully can get one next month. So by default the OS will run from the NAND and the sdcard will appear as a mass storage device on the pc? I tried to do something similar on a Marsboard and I had to use g_file_storage and g_mass_storage kernel modules from gadgetfs. Does the BBB use gadgetfs or something different to achieve the mass storage functionailty?
