Ah, thanks.
This is one point where I was confused. There are evb.bin, mele.bin
and mele_stock.bin in the first partition of the Debian build.

I did not understand why there are three different .bin files, and
what each one did.

So, evb.bin is the only one in use, the others are just alternatives
that can be renamed to evb.bin if required to be used?
