EMMC not booting while SD does.
#11
OK, methinks this is something to do with the "weird" setup of eMMC (at least to me).

My eMMC (from Pine) has 4 hard "partitions"

Code:
~$ lsblk
NAME         MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mtdblock0     31:0    0     4M  0 disk
mtdblock1     31:1    0    32K  0 disk
mtdblock2     31:2    0   256K  0 disk
mmcblk1      179:0    0  14.5G  0 disk
└─mmcblk1p1  179:1    0  14.5G  0 part
mmcblk1boot0 179:32   0     4M  1 disk
mmcblk1boot1 179:64   0     4M  1 disk
mmcblk1rpmb  179:96   0     4M  0 disk
mmcblk0      179:128  0 119.3G  0 disk
├─mmcblk0p1  179:129  0   3.9M  0 part
├─mmcblk0p2  179:130  0    64K  0 part
├─mmcblk0p3  179:131  0     4M  0 part
├─mmcblk0p4  179:132  0     4M  0 part
├─mmcblk0p5  179:133  0     4M  0 part
├─mmcblk0p6  179:134  0   112M  0 part

Note the mmcblk1boot0, mmcblk1boot1 & mmcblk1rpmb partitions/things are all on the eMMC with mmcblk1p1. I suspect you all do not have this structure. And, I think, lacking the boot1 is why you cant boot from your eMMC. And, I think, the common denominator is you all got your eMMC from Ameridroid? And, I suspect, you may be able to get this structure by flashing an Android image onto the eMMC first?

<I stopped booting from my eMMC way back as the NVMe is faster. I was trying to reformat my eMMC as a single partition to use for data or something and noticed these damn "carbuncles" that I cant get rid of.>
