I can do without the pbp for a couple of weeks, as it wasn't my daily driver anyway (though with Ayufans Focal build, it sort of was becoming one, it's that good. In fact, I was flashing it to the eMMC when I must've done something wrong.
I think it's not necessary to do that. With the Pinebook Pro turned off, just open the backplate, turn the switch to turn off the eMMC. (Refer to the Wiki if you have issues finding the switch, its number 24). Keep the backplate off.
Have a SD card ready with a bootable Manjaro or Debian or whatever you like and put it into the Pinebook Pro, then turn on. The device boots into the OS.
Once everything has booted cleanly turn the eMMC switch on the back in order to turn it on, effectively hot plugging it.
Then as super user (sudo) use these commands in a terminal, which are also referred in the Wiki:
Code:
echo fe330000.sdhci >/sys/bus/platform/drivers/sdhci-arasan/unbind
echo fe330000.sdhci >/sys/bus/platform/drivers/sdhci-arasan/bind
Then install whatever you want on the eMMC as usual.
