Hello Jason, Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me what to put into the /boot/uEnv.txt file to do this? Do I install debian/OS image to the USB hard drive and just link to uEnv.txt to that? I would like to just install another image/OS on the USB drive and have the EMMC boot refer to that? Please advise on the best may to proceed.
