Yes, flashing the eMMC updates it's entire contents, including uBoot and the "stage 1" loader. The first-stage loader is actually the MLO file in the DOS partition (Memory LOader). MLO is a part of u-boot, and it's job is to load the rest of uBoot into memory. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
