I guess this only works as long as we are using the standard carrier
board ?
If we ever switch to use John's DAC board we don't have the extra SD
card slot ? Or did John's DAC board also contain an extra SD card slot
?
The general obstacle for me is that I have the Wandboard in the case, so
every time I need to re-write the image I have to unscrew the case to
get access to the SD card slot.
Is the image only needed once and after that I can upgrade everything to
latest version through ssh (or even better to update through a web
interface) ?
Or is there something that can't be upgraded via ssh so I often have to
re-create a new image ?

Sounds good.

Do you mean so they can just be installed instead of compiling them on
the Wandboard as the soa-install.sh and soa-install-lms.sh scripts
currently do ?
So it would speed-up the installation process ?
Or are there other advantages than just to speed up the installation ?
