Please let me know, thanks

Yes! The default Debian is the only one that will look for SD to boot. By default the uboot prioritizes eMMC over SD. In order to boot from SD, you'll want to disable the eMMC. (I learned this hard way, in a very similar situation.)

Your easiest options to write a new image to the eMMC will either be through mask rom mode, or taking out the eMMC and connecting it to the USB adapter to burn directly from your computer.

I didn't buy the adapter for the emmc. So I can't go that route.  Many of my SD cards now fail on write/verify with the Pine64 version of etcher.  Is there a version of uboot that is easier to configure like grub ?
