Bodhi Debian on Mirabox (1 reply)

It's been a while since I have posted, lurked mostly with nothing new to add. Picked up a Globalscale Mirabox cheaply and have tried to load bodhi Debian on it. Not sure what env's to use on the stock u-boot to get Debian-4.12.4-mvebu-tld-1 to boot from the external micro sd slot (mmcblk0).

Globalscale Mirabox specs:
1.2Ghz Marvell Armada CPU ARMADA 370 ARM v7 compliant
802.11b/g/n Wifi with Marvell 88W8787 and Bluetooth 3.0
1GB DDR3
1 GB NAND Flash
2 each 10/100/1000 Ethernet Ports
2 each USB 3.0 host
1 microsd card slot/reader, 1 additional Mini PCIe slot for expansion (internal)
For additional 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 WiFi Radios, or 3G modules
3 LED controlled by GPIO, reset button
external power supply
Port for JTAG and Debugging options

Stock uEnv's:

BootROM 1.08
Booting from SPI flash
DDR3 Training Sequence - Ver 4.4.0
DDR3 Training Sequence - Ended Successfully
Status = MV_OK
BootROM: Image checksum verification PASSED

The device successfully boots on the stock 3.2.36 Debian Wheezy 4 Gb rootfs which is on a micro-sd card internal on the motherboard and is considered a USB drive (not sure why internal is USB and external is MMC).

Am assuming because of stock u-boot being so old, it does not support separate dtb. Regardless of separate embedded dtb vs separate, not sure what memory areas to load uImage, uInitrd into during boot.

Can anybody provide some guidance as to uEnv's to try? Any help would be appreciated.
