Manjaro ARM for Pinebook

[tophneal]

How did you install it on the eMMC? I struggle to do it, I can't find any tutorial about that.

Simple and fast solution is booting from sd and making from command line something like this:

dd if=/dev/whereversd of=/dev/whereeveremmc bs=1M

You need location on dev of your storage before.

Well, I just tried this (And failed, of course). I gathered the correct device names using Parted and use DD just like you described. It was working for a while, then ended with "16GB's copied" and such but also mentioned 'ran out of space on device' but I'm guessing this is to be expected with a simple block-for-block copy command. 

Upon trying to boot from the EMMC drive it will initially try to boot Manjaro (it used to be that ancient KDE Neon install, so something happened at least) but it halts and drops me into an emergency shell:



I don't know where or how to continue from here. 

The SD card used is 16GB's just like the internal EMMC (I was warned against using a larger source) but it seems they do differ in size by 0,1GB in favor of the SD card.

Have you tried using the xcat command I posted above? If the SD is bigger than the eMMC, it should work, and you'll be able to boot into the fresh install within minutes.
