This is how you flash to eMMC easily
#24
Luke, et. al.,

"Here's how it works:
1) download the Jumpdrive image
2) flash the Jumpdrive image to a SD card
3) boot from the SD card
4) connect the PinePhone to your computer using USB-A -> USB-C cable.
5) flash the exposed (mounted) PinePhone drive with a chosen OS image as you'd flash any SD card
6) once the flashing process is complete, disconnect the PinePhone from your PC, power it down and remove the Jumpdrive SD card
7) boot into your OS of choice on eMMC"


OK I was using Trisquel ( version 7) and I could not power down the phone with the Jump drive SD in...can any of that cause issues? 

I had issues with the phone out of the box BTW, KDE plasma had no "x" to close applications...Mobian has similar issues in that you cant swipe out.

Edited to add: I used Trisquel 9 to flash ARCH. The phone worked for a while, then overnight the phone locked up on the login screen, WiFi dip switch was in the "Off" position.

I am having issues updating my support ticket with deskai.zoho.com.
