On the BBAI, if you want to use the microSD as extra storage, do NOT create any files named "uEnv.txt" under /, or /boot/ , etc.. Then u-boot will happily ignore it.. The BBAI (am57xx) has a different boot order then the BBB (am335x), on the BBAI the microSD is always first, where as the BBB the eMMC is first..
