No eMMC over USB if no partition

Hi

My PinePhone Pro has rk2aw on the SPI.

If its eMMC is empty (no partition, all partitions deleted by KDE Partition Manager), on the U-Boot menu (the 2. in https://xnux.eu/rk2aw/ , How rk2aw works) if I select eMMC over USB , it not works:

** Invalid partition 1 **
Couldn't find partition mmc 0

So I booted https://github.com/manjaro-pinephone/plasma-mobile/releases/download/beta14/Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephonepro-beta14.img.xz on a microSD card, Terminal:

sudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk2
n



w

to create a new empty partition on the eMMC, now eMMC over USB works...

Why should there be a partition?
Maybe can you update rk2aw to eMMC over USB an empty eMMC?
Or should I complain to U-Boot?

Thanks.
