I did find somewhat of a strange work around to get my emmc somewhat usable. Although I am not happy with the work solution. I found it completely by accident.

I flashed the spi to enable booting from usb. I flashed the dietpi distro to a usb pendrive I had laying around. It booted just fine from the usb3 port. I shutdown and plugged in my emmc which had openmediavault installed. To my surprise, it booted before dietpi did. Removing the usb pendrive, and rebooting, and I am back to not being able to boot the emmc. As long as I have the pendrive with dietpi on it, it will boot from emmc. Can anyone explain why this works? Is it pulling a (boot) partition from usb, and then loading the rootfs fromm the emmc?

Note: This is a 8GB emmc from Ameridroid.
