Replace the U-Boot on the eMMC with one that is more system-friendly
Or
Install Tow-Boot on the SPI ROM.

I can probably find info on these and go from there, but if it wouldn't be too much trouble could you link me to the docs/tutorials? I am willing to try this.

Here is a link that explains how to write U-Boot to the eMMC.  https://www.jwillikers.com/update-u-boot...nebook-pro bur I can't advise how to get the right U-Boot.

As for the SPI method, I haven't done it.  But it's become quite popular lately so there should be good instructions here in the forums. Or maybe on the Tow-Boot site.
