Tow-Boot, a new U-Boot option for Pinephone Pro and other devices

You’re quite right - my apologies, I had thought that I’d managed to do what I described above with the PP starting on a red LED as well as enabling me to access USB mode with the blue LED Up volume button (i.e. indicating that Tow-Boot was still the functioning bootloader) but I just tried to replicate that and my PP started with a green LED then displayed Megi’s multiboot menu so I can only assume I got slightly muddled when I first tried this late into the night...

Ok so there’s no way of having ones main OS on the microSD card, Megi’s multiboot on the eMMC and be able to switch between the two without removing the microSD card?
