   Number 0 is used for user data partition and should not be utilized for storing
   boot images and U-Boot environment in RAW mode since it will break file system
   structures usually located here.
-  The default boot partition is BOOT0. It is selected by the following parameter:
-  CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART=1
-  Valid values for this parameter are 1 for BOOT0 and 2 for BOOT1.
-  Please never use partition number 0 here!

+  Currently configured boot partition can be printed by command:
+  # mmc partconf 0
+  (search for BOOT_PARTITION_ACCESS output, number 7 is user data)
+
+  Change it to BOOT0:
+  # mmc partconf 0 0 1 1

 - The partition number is ignored if the target device is SD card.
 - The boot image offset starts at block 0 for eMMC and block 1 for SD devices.
   The block 0 on SD devices is left for MBR storage.
