Tyvm for your help, 

I only worked with µC before so I'm not used to not having flash memory 
intern :) 

Could I make starterware boot from the eMMC on the beagle bone black? 

Also, I read that booting starterware has negative consequences for the 
processor:
"2) Starterware - not really an OS, this may be the 'closer to the metal' 
way of programming (similar to a microcontroller) that you're looking 
for, but keep in mind you make a lot of sacrificies by not going with an 
OS."

I hope it doesn't work "slower" by not implementing an OS. I'm even trying 
to make everything go faster :p
