Thanks for all of your hard work Robert! Not sure if this is really a "bug" or more of a optimization.
I downloaded and installed (via Win32 Disk Imager) the eMMC Flasher to a 4 Gb Kingston card. When I booted the new card on a BBB A5A, it loaded all the way into the GUI, performed the rsync, and then the lights went solid. My question is, is it necessary to boot the flasher all the way into the GUI? It may shave a couple minutes off of the "flash" time by limiting the run level. Another interesting note, is that once the rsync is done and the lights all go solid, the GUI is still responsive and usable. I guess I was assuming that it would go to a halt state. Once again, not a problem, just a comment. On to the live tests.....
