I installed chromium OS, it was OK until it crashed twice (and rebooted) when trying to watching a YouTube video. I have it installed on the emmc. For some reason, Android is not loading from the SD card (or other Linux systems on an SD); Chromium os still boots. Will I need to turn off the emmc and boot with it off to reset the boot order? Is the recovery button under the hood the only way to flash Android to the emmc?
Please let me know, thanks
Yes! The default Debian is the only one that will look for SD to boot. By default the uboot prioritizes eMMC over SD. In order to boot from SD, you'll want to disable the eMMC. (I learned this hard way, in a very similar situation.)
Your easiest options to write a new image to the eMMC will either be through mask rom mode, or taking out the eMMC and connecting it to the USB adapter to burn directly from your computer.
I didn't buy the adapter for the emmc. So I can't go that route. Many of my SD cards now fail on write/verify with the Pine64 version of etcher. Is there a version of uboot that is easier to configure like grub ?
