I'm thinking to use Charles S's MachineKit LinuxCNC image, which occupies 4G and would like to run it from the eMMC rather than an SD card, with card dedicated to machine/print job files.
I was a little annoyed (but happy) to hear that there's a 4G revD board shipping soon, at least according to Sparkfun here: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12857 Is this true? If so, is it a clone or original BBB revision? Why not mention plans for the new rev in either this or the "out of Stock" thread? Anyway, happy it's coming if true.
