Hi Oliver, Nice to hear it. Thanks to Olimex I also have 2 board and make series of tests and customization effort based on Armbian build scripts. I have passed through patching and customization of U-Boot, Kernel (both legacy 3.4.111 and mainline 4.5.2), Debian Jessie as FS, RPI Monitor etc. All my steps are described in a couple of posts on Armbian forum where the main one is: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/853-armbian-customization There one can find all patches I have used, step by step instruction on how to install and boot from eMMC, SD/MMC, SATA, some measurements and tests. One of the useful things in my opinion is U-Boot script to boot from available boot devices in given order and usage of user button for emergency boot from eMMC or SD/MMC.
Of course, my customization effort is not finished so some help in USB OTG activation and read-only rootfs preparation will be welcome. Any help or notes on how the things can be done in a better way will be appreciated as well.
