        If it is old enough to be a 2GB eMMC you may find it a problem. That
series shipped with Angstrom as the OS, which hasn't been used in ages.

        The Debian IoT image requires a 4GB eMMC to install. There IS a Debian
Console image that may fit in 2GB -- but as the name implies, it is a very
minimal feature set (LXQT images have X-Window desktops, IoT have lots of
stuff except the desktop; I'd hope Console has networking at least <G>).

        Note that if you successfully flash a recent Debian image to the eMMC,
you shouldn't need the boot select switch. The board will load u-boot from
eMMC, u-boot will detect an inserted SD card and load device trees and
kernel image from the SD card, and make the SD card the primary file
system.
