installing OS from SD to eMMC methods for flashing SD

[PineHead7]

I run into few problems while trying installing e.g. 20.12 manjaro to eMMC on etched SD with osdn.net image. I had to go back to image 20.04 where image already contains script/way to select installation to eMMC.

Later will edit this post, so this will be complete and universal guide to dd of any OS distro with emmc-installer.

Please help with steps to be done on manjaro and ubuntu. thanks


There are two methods:

1. by Etching SD: Take your pick of desired OS distros with emmc-installer images. osdn.net offers booting form eMMC.
   • run your favorite Etcher and flash your SD (e.g. Balena Etcher) Note that only distros with explicit note in description will install OS to eMMC like here
     
   • Turn off pbp, insert Etched SD, power on, after about 15s press ESC, then pop up warning informs that all data will be lost -> Yes, later we are asked to pick our eMMC device: mmcblk2 is our pbp eMMC, so just press OK and Voila. All done.
     
     
2. Using dd if command: with this i would need some help how to make it.
