Is there a way to clone the whole SD Card installation onto the eMMC? I would like to install KDE Neon onto my onboard eMMC, but I can't seem to find a version for eMMC installation.  A direct clone would be awesome, but I'm happy if there's maybe an imgflash approach.


You can clone with dd, but the source would have to be read-only or unmounted or you would get file system corruption
I've just tried grabbing a copy of KDE Neon and DD that to eMMC, which was successful. However I tried straight copying the system but like you said, the result was basically whatever it could access, and the system would not boot.

I'm happy enough with the fresh install, proves that live usage of DD is a challenge though.
