[PINE A64 2GB Kickstarter]How to boot android from external SSD - v1n1c1uS - 01-10-2018

Hi, guys.

I have an Pine a64 2GB that i'm using as media center (android 6.0 ayufan with kodi app), I have a 16gb micro sd and it is working. But I want to use an 128GB SSD in a usb enclosure with separated power to boot the OS and have extra storage.

I know that I have to maintain the sd connected for boot. All tutorials that I found are for linux installations and android does not have the same commands;

So, the question is: How do I use android 6.0 and boot the OS from external SSD?

Thanks in advance.

For PINE A64, it only boot up from microSD card.
