Can't reinstall debian after breaking pre-installed OS

You can just download the latest mrfixit image and dd it to the emmc while booted from sdcard, that will work.

I wrote a method to copy a working OS around, allowing repartitioning and adding physical swap partition. It preserves the U-Boot & bootability, in a clumsy way, but it worked for me multiple times.

Here is a link;

It does require all command line work and assumes some familiarity with Linux command line tools. So it's not for everyone.

I flashed the latest mrfixit built and used dd to write to the eMMC, but not my PBP will not boot. I suspect I screwed something up along the way and overwrote the bootloader. How can I rebuild from scratch back to a usable machine?
