> I was not successful in getting the spi.installer.img to boot after flashing to a SD card
And..... the reason for that is that a uboot for SD/emmc is DIFFERENT than one for SPI
(this applies to ANY uboot, not just tow-boot)
the code is the same,,, but idbloader is expanded with blank sectors and ALSO
starts at offset 0, not 64 sectors.. IIRR uboot itself is also at 6M, not 8M
If you use the right image, tow-boot on SD/emmc will work OK
