Thanks to Olimex I also have 2 board and make series of tests and customization effort based on Armbian build scripts. I have passed through patching and customization of U-Boot, Kernel (both legacy 3.4.111 and mainline 4.5.2), Debian Jessie as FS, RPI Monitor etc. All my steps are described in a couple of posts on Armbian forum where the main one is: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/853-armbian-customization There one can find all patches I have used, step by step instruction on how to install and boot from eMMC, SD/MMC, SATA, some measurements and tests. One of the useful things in my opinion is U-Boot script to boot from available boot devices in given order and usage of user button for emergency boot from eMMC or SD/MMC. Of course, my customization effort is not finished so some help in USB OTG activation and read-only rootfs preparation will be welcome. Any help or notes on how the things can be done in a better way will be appreciated as well.

Hi Oliver,

Nice to hear it. Thanks to Olimex I also= have 2 board and make series of tests and customization effort based on Ar= mbian build scripts.
I have passed through patching and customization of= U-Boot, Kernel (both legacy 3.4.111 and mainline 4.5.2), Debian Jessie as = FS, RPI Monitor etc.
All my steps are described in a couple of posts on = Armbian forum where the main one is:
http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/= topic/853-armbian-customization
There one can find all patches I have us= ed, step by step instruction on how to install and boot from eMMC, SD/MMC, = SATA, some measurements and tests.
One of the useful things in my opinio= n is U-Boot script to boot from available boot devices in given order and u= sage of user button for emergency boot from eMMC or SD/MMC.

Of cours= e, my customization effort is not finished so some help in USB OTG activati= on and read-only rootfs preparation will be welcome.

Any help or not= es on how the things can be done in a better way will be appreciated as wel= l.

Regards
Chris

Sorry for the late reply, but yeah the board exists, we asked Olimex to= =20
develop the eMMC variant for us. I currently have a dozen or so on my= =20
desk :)

I don't know when Olimex will update their webshop with the new des= igns,=20
but they simply might not have enough eMMC chips available yet?
