  • What is the benefit of using eMMC rather than SD card? Speed, longer lifetime or the storage?
Yes, Yes & not really - 64GB on eMMC is trivially smaller than 64GB on SD card due to storage reserved for error allocation.

  • How is the eMMC module attached to the board? I couldn't identify an obvious slot or similar connection.
See item 14.

  • What is the purpose of the USB adapter, is it to "burn" the OS image to the eMMC or do you need it to attach the eMMC to the board?
To burn the image to the eMMC. (It does simplify things but it is not essential.)
  • ROCKPro64 v2.1 2GB, 16Gb eMMC for rootfs, SX8200Pro 512GB NVMe for /home, HDMI video & sound, Bluetooth keyboard & mouse. Arch (6.2 kernel, Openbox desktop) for general purpose daily PC.
  • PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, daily driver, rk2aw & U-boot on SPI, Arch/SXMO & Arch/phosh on eMMC
  • PinePhone BraveHeart now v1.2b 3/32Gb, Tow-boot with Arch/SXMO on eMMC
