Given the 16M size, I assume the last one is the SPI flash? What about the others? (both showing 4M size)
fdisk -l doesn't give me any interesting information.
Are these supposed to be interact-able in any way?
Or am I just dumb and these are actually still the eMMC?
I know when I used the "Disks" program in Debian (that I added to OEM OS on the PBP), I saw the partitioning on what "Disks" refered to as an SD, which the eMMC....
That help? :-)
Well I thought so too, but if those are partitions on the eMMC, shouldn't they visually show as a part of the "mmcblk1" device? (pic attached)
fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk1 also doesn't list them as partitions belonging to it.
Alright, mystery solved!
Basically those are some special-cookie "partitions", intended by the eMMC spec for boot firmwares (boot0, boot1), and secure data (rpmb).
Then there's the normal "USER" partition(~block-device), which is used for normal partitioning (= mmcblk0/1[p1/2/3..]).
