No. The BBB sometimes boots from the internal flash drive and sometimes
boots from the sdcard, it depends of the version of the Linux OS and if
the user pushes the button to boot from the sdcard. You can't modify the
u-boot of Linux.
Here is my idea:
- bsd.rd downloads and copies always both files.
- Copies also a text file with the last update of u-boot:
"u-boot 2013.10. Updated on Oct 06".
- Add a note to README to remember to the users that they should update
manually the copy of u-boot of the Linux partition if the version is
outdated.
It's also possible to change the filename of u-boot.img to something
like "u-boot.img.20131006" and to modify MLO to load this file. With
this, it's not necessary the text file with the version info.
