What you need to do is either:

Create the SD, boot to it, then use dd to write a .img to your emmc

or

Use the Pine64 Installer/Etcher and the emmc-to-usb adapter to write the .img directly to your emmc.


The first method is likely the route you want to go, since you haven't indicated that you have the emmc-to-usb adapter.
Boot into your Neon SD, and go to the wiki Software Releases page for the Pinebook/PB1080. Download the image you want, and use terminal to write it to your emmc.  This wiki page should have any answers you need concerning this method: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/NOOB Use section 3.2
Thank you so much. I will give this a try been pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. Hopefully I can get this thing doin linuxey things.
