Hello,
I want to update my installation of u-boot. (I already asked some questions in the Manjaro Forum because its their u-boot update which asks to be dd'ed to a target, but I am left with some open questions.) Where exactly does u-boot reside when using a standard Linux like in this case Manjaro, installed to the eMMC? When I want to update u-boot, do I simply need to write it to the eMMC device or do mmcblkXboot0 and mmcblkXboot1 play any role in the booting process of Linux on the Pinebook? The information in https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebook_Pro does not answer my questions and the documentation of u-boot is somewhat inaccessible even for someone who works with Linux for a living.
Yours
Stefan
