Re: [leaf-user] FYI: 6.0.2-rc1 works on a PC Engines apu2c2 but with issues
I've given up on SD boot for the moment & ordered a mSATA card. It looks like it will be easy to copy over the software & config on the USB stick.

I don't believe that will help a lot, according to the sparse notes it just adds pxe boot, and the thread you've linked to was related to the latest BIOS.

Re: [leaf-user] FYI: 6.0.2-rc1 works on a PC Engines apu2c2 but with issues
I've got coreboot version 20160307. According to the PC Engines website this introduces SD boot support. There is a 20160311 version so I may try that.
