Boot Android from USB?

[Max_H]

Hi

Is there a Rock64 Android which boots from USB? Preferably from Rock64's USB 3 socket?

This is what I have tried:

• Bionic works flawlessly with a M.2 SSD in an USB 3 adaptor using the USB 3 socket.
  

• With Etcher (Linux and Win10) and rock64_20171204_stock_android_7.1.2_rooted_emmc.img as well as rock64_20180606_stock_android_8.1_emmcboot.img Etcher reports "It looks like this is not a bootable image", this probably because of a missing partition table.
  

• With Pine64Installer (v 2.0.0 beta 3, Win10) and Stock android 8.1 emmc (build 20180606) from the list I get  "Invalid Message Unhandled rejection undefined Invalid message" after download.
  

• Flashing ayufan's android-7.1-rock-64-rock64_atv-v0.3.13-r115-raw.img with Pin64Installer worked, but the image didn't boot.
  

Any suggestions?

Sock Android may not possible to boot form USB. ayufan version may be and pending on ayufan update his build.

Thanks for your reply. I will use an emmc to begin with and hope for an update.
