The only way to do this is to remove the resistor R68 and place that resistor on the R93 pads. This is the equivalent of pressing the Boot button permanently. If you don¹t do that, the processor will attempt to load u-boot from the eMMC and if the SDCard is installed, it will load everything else from the SDCard. The Boot button only changes which u-boot is used. Regards, John > > > Debian apparently has no problem with this.
