That's fine for booting from an SD card, but how can I burn image whatever.img.xz to the emmc. I just got my pinebook last week. The distro it came with (Ubuntu w/ Mate) is faulty - Java causes a segmentation fault and 'man' is broke - looks like there's a problem with troff, but I didn't dig deep enough to be sure. I could work around both issues, but stopped there. I'm not mad or anything, these things happen - but I want to be able to install whatever distro I want to the emmc.
I tried installing the Armbian image that the pine64-installer downloads. I burned that with dd to a USB stick, then dd from the stick mounted on my pinebook to /dev/mmcblk0p1, but no joy yet. I don't know what's in /dev/mmcblk0boot0 and 1 because I can't mount them.
Linux, as we all know, is about freedom. So, to build on @anaumov's question - how can I install my distro to the emmc?
Also - if you need beta testers for the images you're sending out on these Pinebooks - I'll be happy to volunteer.
