Bricked PBP after writing image to eMMC?
#2
Have you solved it ?

The fact that you can actually boot from SD card seems to indicate that you have not bricked the PinebookPro, but maybe just corrupted the emmc installation but without completely killing the uboot. The uboot is necessary to change the boot sequence from Sd card first, then emmc.

As you can boot from sd card as you say my first thought would be to try a different SD card or image?

If they all fail, in worst case you can switch the emmc of on the board. Check the tech spec in the wiki for the location of the switch. In that case the PinebookPro should boot purely from your SD card, and if the cord is ok have no problems.
