Here is the results of my tests:
I used both Armbian 5.75 and Bionic minimal 0.7.9. Fresh flashed to Sandisk 16GB microSD and my 32GB eMMC module.
eMMC:
Bionic will not reboot. Power and Reset buttons have no effect, must pull power and replug to get board back.
Armbian will not reboot. Reset button DOES restart the board.
microSD:
Bionic will not reboot. Reset button DOES restart the board.
Armbian reboots fine, no issues despite multiple attempts with and without SATA card etc.
I don't know what to make of these results. The reset button working is a new (and happy) twist as it never worked with the prior versions of Bionic and Armbian on eMMC. It's very interesting that Armbian on eMMC acts just like Bionic on SD while Armbian on SD has zero issues.
Bionic on eMMC continuing to require physical power removal to reboot plus it's propensity to randomly get SATA controller errors (never once replicated with Armbian) pretty much knocks it out of any chance of being used.
