Current symptoms:
- With the emmc switch on I'm stuck in a boot loop with the lcd backlight and the green power LED intermittently coming on. The green power led shows a moment of read activity before shutting off and restarting.
- With the emmc switch off i can boot off an sdcard with the mate image. Unfortunately I can't access the emmc card to reflash it.
- I've tried booting the debian image from an Sd Card and doesn't even appear to power on. No power LED, No backlight. I tried the most recent 2 versions, and the same result.

I'm not sure what to do next. I could try an OTG flash of the pro but the documentation is very not done.

Sorry, if this is getting off-topic.  Can you boot SD with the eMMC switched off, switch the eMMC back on, then flash the eMMC?
