how to make full transfer, to leave loading only from sata without emmc/nand or sdcard?

[Igor]

No go. At minimum you need to load u-boot from emmc / sd.

if now the system is installed on sdcard, then having chosen option boot from SD, system on SATA/USB, the same sdcard for storage of the loader will be used? I will be able to transfer then the loader to sdcard of the smaller size? if I am able, then how then to transfer the loader?

Image 1MB of the old SDcard to the new SDcard. This contains the loader.

 

On Linux as root :

 

stick in old SDcard, check device with lsblk ( e.g. /dev/sdb )

 

dd if=/dev/sdb of=loader.img bs=1M count=1

 

eject sdcard, stick in new SDcard, check device with lsblk ( e.g. /dev/sdb )

 

dd if=loader.img of=/dev/sdb
