Looking around at instructions and documentation
to write an image to the eMMC, I have not come across
this yet and it's blowing my mind.
eMMC to microUSB adapter ($1.50):
http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/...5415955758
I have an oDroid XU4 with an eMMC module,
and this is the adapter I've been using
to write an image to it (via dd on OSX).
Done the same with my ROCK64, and I think this is something
everyone should own if they play with SBC's with eMMC,
and I think PINE needs to source these and add them to the store.
In my limited testing, worked like a charm
with ayufan's Debian Stretch Minimal image
(just straight up used dd to write to the eMMC
on my hackintosh, and booted straight to it).
Enjoy.
I acquired an eMMC <---> SD card adapter
from Ameridroid.Com ....
https://ameridroid.com/products/emmc-adapter
$3.95 US + $3.95 US shipping
Just got a 32 gb eMMC in the mail today
from the Pine64 store ....
I have cloned a working debian stretch minimal sd card
using dd and two usb3 card readers in a powered
usb3 hub on another debian buster pc ....
# dd if=/dev/sdx of=/dev/sdy bs=3g status=progress
The cloned sd card boots and runs fine
on the rock64 with 4 gb memory ....
I also have a working debian stretch lxde sd card
that I would prefer to dd the eMMC ....
I think this method should work ok
but am not 100% sure about it ....
Did you dd to the eMMC from a working sd card
or from a freshly downloaded image ?
I would prefer to use my working sd card as a source
since it's already configured as I prefer and up to date ....
