If booting from EMMC can you use an SD card for storage?
Yes, but you'll need to install NTFS drivers first. Once you've done that, if you are using a GUI (Mate, LXDE, xfce) then you might want to try installing Gnome-Disks and using that to create a mount point in /etc/fstab (you can do it manually but...).
If you flash SPI then it should attempt to boot from the EMMC first, but without it flashed it will boot from the SD first IF THE SD IS MARKED AS BOOTABLE. Which is very useful if you want to use it to make an image of your live system from the EMMC.
*I actually have more issues with using an USB in conjunction with the EMMC as that combo occasionally results in read errors from the EMMC - No USB no read errors.
