Hello everyone,

Installing Debian unto my Lime 2 and am a bit confused as to which image to utilize.

The Debian website has these two images:
```
firmware.A20-OLinuXino-Lime2-eMMC.img.gz   2024-08-27 22:35    359K
firmware.A20-OLinuXino-Lime2.img.gz   2024-08-27 22:35    357K
```

What is the difference between them both? Which can I utilize with my A20-OLINUXINO-Lime2-E16GS16M-ND?

Thank you so much for any help.

Well, the name suggests that the difference is one image is suitable for boards without eMMC and the other for boards with eMMC.

Notice that while these images will boot, there is a chance not all hardware features of your board would be supported out-of-the-box. The only image we maintain is Olimage. Refer to this document:
