Thank you for the replies.

I would like to use my version of beagle without eMMC fitted.  Could you 
confirm if this is possible?

In our application we would always boot from SD card so we have created our 
version of beagle with eMMC IC not fitted.

Is this it feasible to operate it in this way?
