what is the magic dd incantation to copy the system from the sd card to the emmc?
#17
OK, I see why you don't care about sleep, the nvme sleep problem
The idea of a emmc image backup was ONLY if it doesn't work, easy recovery
So... unless the nvme is small, shrink (gparted) manjaro / with only 100M free,
make a new partition for armbian /....this means that the nvme is easily restored
(just expand shrunk partition)
I would assume armbian install is from a SD boot (also the gparted work)
Unless the install forces a reboot that you cannot stop, installing PCM
is just a command line, cd to right place and the dd commands that you know
Maybe you have (on SD) a ~/pcm directory with the 2 files? or something similar?
I would bet that it would work
BTW, since most of the emmc is empty, you don't have to back it all up,
use appropriate count= (plus a bit extra to be sure)
My boot is ~60M, + the 31M space at beginning of emmc,, so count=120 bs=1M
Yours may be different, gparted will show
