Thank you.
Yes, the jumpdrive is the way to go imho.
But as lodopidolo mentions, RESIZE is also a step which needs to be mentioned more explicitly.
After you flash the chosen OS image to the eMMC drive, remove the jumpdrive and reboot, the resulting system is only using a fraction of the available space (usually around 5G of the available 29-30G. So I have been going back in a second time with the jumpdrive, to resize the 2nd partition on eMMC using parted from a terminal on my PC.
In my case:
sudo parted /dev/<your_sd_card_device>
(parted) resizepart 2 100%
(parted) quit
If you run lsblk before & after doing this, you'll see the partition usage on /dev/sdc (or whichever drive letter applies in your case) jump from 5 up to 29G or so.
Rebooting to the eMMC after that will give full access to the available space, which should improve performance.
