Do you see the Tow-boot logo when booting? in that case, press ESC or CTRL+C and select "boot SD Card". It will then run the flash script on the sd card.

If it doesn't work, then temporary disable the eMMC module with the switch, flash tow-boot, and re-enable the eMMC

Ahhh; no, I'm seeing the u-boot icon as I did update u-boot previously... I just buttoned the machine all back up, but I think I understand what yer suggesting.

I did get a bit further; after updating u-boot I can boot the tow boot sd (spi-installer.img), but it doesn't show a menu. The tow-boot commands go into a loop, and text runs off screen. I can ctrl-c out of it, but entering the command
spi_install (or whatever it is) fails.

maybe i'll try to disable eMMC; I forgot that SPI will still be there if I do that. Hmmmmm... thanks for the suggestion.

(I had almost just decided to stay on the updated u-boot, but do prefer the tow boot feel.)

Why does the new u-boot AND tow boot have that video glitch just before it boots into an OS?
