Did somebody tried to boot from USB stick? If yes, how?
I am asking, because I think that USB stick have less change to be corrupted like sd card.

I have the same question and am looking for some answers as well. At the very least, I would like to use a usb stick as the root filesystem while keeping the bootloader on the sd card.

I guess you already found
https://linux-sunxi.org/BROM
and
https://linux-sunxi.org/FEL/USBBoot

So, looks like you just build u-boot and the Linux of your choice (perhaps starting with Olimex source code base).

I did not find those links. But, thank you for them. Hopefully I can figure this out.
