Ok, good - And you're welcome.

Ahh, yes - The plus has a onboard eMMC? The PC variant doesn't, so
that's not really an option there.

Still, the easiest is probably to just go with the sdcard image for now.

We can have multiple defconfigs sharing the same board files, or a
single config working on multiple boards (if u-boot can detect the board
variant), but there's currently no support for having a base defconfig
that gets included/overridden by other defconfigs.
