Booting from eMMC with SD inserted? - falcon15500 - 06-30-2017
Hi all,
Just a (hopefully) quick question - I have Ubuntu MATE installed to the eMMC and I have a 32Gb SD card installed for extra storage. If I try to boot up with the SD inserted, the boot process stalls at a blank screen (no bootup logo etc). It will only continue to boot into eMMC if I remove the SD card.
This is a bit of a pain in the arse.
I know that the PB looks at the SD first, but I assumed that if it didn't find what it needed to boot - it would failover to the next option of the eMMC. Is there anything I can do to get this to work how I would like?

Try inserting the SD card after the bootup.
... alternatively, using a serial console, try booting from the eMMC with the SD removed; then stop the uboot at the timer and insert the SD card; then resume the bootup with the 'boot' command.

I know that Pinebook is quite simple notebook, but it would definitely be better if the installation of system from SD to emmc was not fully automatic. I just reinstalled my quite well installed Android when I accidentally inserted the SDcard with installation image again :
If it was just one question after bootup, if user really wants to reinstall the emmc from SDcard.

Okay, so I am an idiot...
For anyone else who is having the same issues, the script:
/usr/local/sbin/pine64_remove_boot0.sh <device>
where <device> is your SDcard (eg: /dev/mmcblk1)
will stop the PB from trying to boot into the SDCard.
So now I can leave the SD inserted and it boots right into the eMMC.

You should remove the SD card from the Rock64 if you're going to boot from the eMMC; the bootup will get confused between the two; true. But the worst of it from a maker standpoint is that the lower PI-2 bus gpio pins (blue bank, gpio1) are not available if you have the SD card plugged in.

Well I am on a Pinebook, so that's not really my biggest concern. After I run the above script, it all works well.
