many sources tell that 32bit arm socs only boot with uboot at 8k in emmc/sdcard

this conflicts with gpt which is 16k large

now i found some random uboot help page which tells that 128k is since h3. i don't know many socs also boot from 128k

i tried on my h3 and it did boot from 128k

if you do that, make sure that you wipe "half of uboot" off from 8k to 128k as otherwise it still boots up and crashes. and you have to fel boot the board or otherwise in-place fix the flash

people might still use it and unless i have some super secret hw, almost entire internet, our, wiki, everyone, is wrong

i never tried before because "people said no"...

have fun hacking!
