That was what I was trying to say, I knew after I sent it that I wasn't
going to come across as clear.
All I was getting at was a utility that moves your ARM code into the SD
card boot block. And since most people would be using a wintel machine
to do this step, I called it an x86 loader (which since that has so
many different meanings in this discussion alone...) but I should have
been specific and said "will you have a windows program (or linux for
that matter) that will move the ARM boot block into the SD card".
My assumption,based on your response is yes you probably will. I just
shouldn't type these messages when I have a bad night of sleep.
Anyways, sounds like a fun device in any case.
