Actually SD card are easy to modify and tune with just adding
setenv mmcrootdev  "1" to autoboot.cmd from sdcard.

but with eMMC module it's bit difficult to make this work,
even if we modify the autoboot.cmd and with new boot.scr
changes do not work out.

I have hard time to recover my eMMC module to boot again.
well I have to boot from SD card with eMMC attach and then
flash the new bootloader to eMMC to make this work.
