Starterware does not support access to eMMC. To do that, you would have to implement MMC-support to their HSMMCSD-library in order to make MLO able to boot APPs from there. Am Donnerstag, 16. Oktober 2014 22:28:31 UTC+2 schrieb TheMdv18: Hi everybody, My question is, I can boot starterware

What ever causes this (changed) behaviour can be found on your on-board eMMC. There something seems to have changed with the bootloader which now lets the BBB boot from external SD card first. May be you installed Ubuntu? AFAIK this modifies bootloader in this way. Am Dienstag, 7. Oktober 2014
