Please file a bug report on the u-boot-exynos package, ideally with proposed wording for an improved README. :) >> Not sure if the partitioning is in sync.

On three odroid-xu4 boards I have, I've used the sd_fusing.1M.sh script: https://github.com/hardkernel/u-boot/tree/odroidxu3-v2012.07/sd_fuse/hardkernel_1mb_uboot/ I always left a 500MiB partition at the beginning of the disk to make sure u-boot didn't get overwritten. Apparently, they have an odroid-specific branch now that uses 720k, but it's almost the same script with slightly different offsets: https://github.com/hardkernel/u-boot/tree/odroidxu4-v2017.05/sd_fuse/ I presume that will be safe to use also, and give a little safer buffer to avoid clobbering the first partition. live well, vagrant
