Hi,
Just received v2.1 RockPro64 board yesterday, together with NAS Case, 64GB EMMC card and SATA board.
For the first boot, I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.
I didn't order the USB/EMMC adaptor. Instead as per Wiki and forum instructions I used Etcher on a Windows 10 PC to burn the latest Linux distro to an existing SanDisk 8GB SDCard. Used apt-get to update software. Once I was happy that RockPro64 booted from that, then added EMMC card and DD'd to it using instructions on this forum.
Removed SDCard and rebooted to make sure I was really booting from EMMC card. I know a bit paranoid!!. Again, used forum instructions to manually expand the file system. All went fine for me, so next steps are to complete build with SATA board, and SSD's, then try the same approach but this time with the OMV build.
So far, so good.
