Yes. But you would use one of the standalone images, instead of a flasher image. *I just don't really want to have two different versions of doing things > for two boards, but kind of too late for that.

Or is it configurable?* > The default behavior as I understand it is that the board will load the first, a stage bootloader ( MLO ) off of the eMMC. *Unless* you press the boot switch button, where then it would load the first stage bootloader from the sdcard. In either above case, the board would then attempt to boot off the sdcard. Starting with u-boot, and finally booting Linux. This is why some have issues with trying to boot a newer image off of sdcard, when they're using an older BBB. The first stage bootloader on the eMMC is too old. Anyway, with all that said. Yes, you can configure this behavior somewhat through uEnv.txt. You'll still load the first stage bootloader off the eMMC, but depending on how key variables are set in uEnv.txt, you can "automagically" load files. and / or linux images choosing your specific boot medium. Now, we're straying off onto a topic that is fairly large. A topic that I spent nearly 2 weeks reading about before I could even think of a question to ask. I would suggest if you need to know more that you search the web for anything / everything u-boot, MLO ( and perhaps even x-loader ) in regards to the beaglebone black.
