Pinebook Pro refuses to boot from eMMC

Get Debian from the link in the blog here.  If that works, and it should, that's your best bet on the SD.  If it doesn't boot, I'm not sure what to tell you.  Once booted, if you turned on the eMMC at the right time, you should be able to copy the U-boot code from the SD to the eMMC, and assuming the operating system is still intact, the eMMC should return to normal operation.

Thanks a lot! Sadly, Debian didn't work to boot from (as mentioned). I'll see if anybody else here pitches in here or I'll hope for Pine64 support to help. I hope the warranty covers the eMMC, if that is indeed the issue.

I'd be happy to reinstall the entire OS if it's a quick fix.

I'm thinking of getting a Star Labs Lite Mk III if the Pinebook Pro dies and warranty won't cover it. I'm hoping for the best, though.
