For step 3 there is a way out of tweaking Jumper 10 if you want to boot force boot on SD. From the serial console press a key on the keyboard while u-boot start. You will get the u-boot prompt. from this prompt write: run bootcmd_mmc1 and press enter. Helios64 will boot from SD. To force boot from eMMC instead of SD, do the opposite: run bootcmd_mmc0   This saved me from opening the box.
