Pinebook Pro won´t boot either from eMMC or microSD

[robieguarneros]

If you have the eMMC disabled, the SD card will boot, if the SD card is bootable.

Download this image https://github.com/mrfixit2001/debian_de...226.img.xz and flash to an SD card.  If the SD card is good, and you have flashed it correctly, it will boot.

Incidentally, I fully expect that if you're used to Kali, you will like Debian much better than Arch linux.  Kali is derived from Debian.  If you still want Arch linux, I recommend Manjaro, which is Arch derived, and will be much more functional than a generic Arch build.  The Manjaro image for the PBP is the most functionally complete.  The Debian image is in my experience, more stable, and more likely to just work.  That's why I recommend Debian just to get the machine to boot.

 Thanks, I'll consider using Debian instead, I just wanted a fully customizable distro that had nothing preinstalled, but maybe I'm not ready.  

I've downloaded the image and flashed it to my microSD. But as soon as I turn the eMMC switch off it seems like the power is cut because whenever I try to reboot, nothing happens and the leds don't even turn on, no color. I'm not sure as to why this is happening. Does it need to be a specific microSD?

I have also ordered an eMMC adapter, so when it arrives I'm hoping that I can just reflash the eMMC and get it running because I think the issue is uboot, but I have never worked with this so I'm not really sure how it works.
