Battle with toolchain software part 12

UPDATING A COPY OF AN EXISTING SD CARD IMAGE

I chose the console only version of the images instead of the ones that attempted to fire up the graphical desktop over HDMI and USB-OTG ports. I guessed that there will be less to fight to get Linux running properly for this image.

I had to find the best possible source of preloader and U-boot files, as well as the best advice I could garner from among the many dozens of contradictory and mostly defective guides on Rocketboards.org, github and other repositories.

I did manage to generate the preloader and U-boot just as I had expected. Tomorrow I will move that the the copy of the console only system and begin the testing to get it to boot up. This version has the newer bridge-enable command instead of the bridge-enable-handoff command from the old version which didn't properly set up my bridges.
