U-Boot with direct NVMe boot support for eMMC/SPI Flash

[mamboman777]

I'm still interested in this.  I currently have the emmc as root and the nvme as home.  Is this attainable for the average Joe (me)? Is there much benefit?

Back up your data and give it a shot! The github page for pcm's BSP-based uboot has the terminal command for writing the a file to the SPI, and a few other users have added a wiki page with steps one can take to help recover a bad flash on SPI. Once you've got this uboot on SPI, you should able to install and boot directly from the NVMe, w/o splitting partitions among drives.

Thanks for the encouragement.  Making a backup now.  

Just to be clear, you are saying I should follow instructions from this, right?  https://github.com/pcm720/u-boot-build-scripts
