[arm-allstar] node building

Dave, Doug,
Thanks for the reply. This leads me to a follow-up question. I'm curious as to why you wouldn't/can't blow away the mmc flash ‎away and Just load the image there. I'm guessing that it may not be large enough to handle it. 

Aloha

Hi Jim,

All config info is currently only on the uSD card. The mmc flash on the
BBB is not modified at all, by default. So, you can take an existing,
working uSD card out of the BBB where it was setup and plug it into a new
BBB and the new BBB will be functionally identical to the old (and the old
BBB will then again boot the original firmware it came with from the
manufacturer).
