As it stands now I can read the SD and the env file etc. The bbgw won't boot so it does not show the board as a drive on a computer.
It just wants to keep flashing from the sd. Remove the sd and power up and it throws an error that the device to copy from doesn't exist. Using boot button does not seem to help. I'm afraid I'm back to trying to get at the board drive in u-boot. I can't find any examples of how to specify the interface and device.
