Unable to boot from emmc after flashing it
#1
I have a working pbpro with a working emmc which I have flashed several times with different images. No issues until I incorrectly flashed it with an Arch image.
Now I'm unable to boot from it. When powering on the device, the power light stays solid amber with a black screen. No activity at all.
This happens with or without a bootable SD card inserted. 

However, I figured out that the machine boots from the SD card only if I disable the physical emmc switch on the inside. If I switch it back on during boot up or after the OS is already running from SD card, the emmc is not recognized at all. Does it mean I possibly bricked it? Is there any other workaround to try to make the emmc show up again after booting from the SD card?

I'm trying to get a hold of a emmc to USB adapter to see if it's readable on another device.

Has anyone experienced anything similar?
