Sort of a quick guide flashing emmc 5.x using dd from Raspbian.

  1. Use usual method for creating a bootable micro SD card (if needed)
  2. Copy the uncompressed image file to a FAT32/UDF formatted USB drive
  3. Boot up aml-s905x-cc
    Note: If this is the initial boot, skip updates since next boot will be from the emmc
  4. Open a terminal window
  5. Make sure of the emmc’s block device name, in this case it is mmcblk0 
$ sudo lsblk
NAME         MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mmcblk0      179:0    0 116.5G  0 disk
mmcblk0boot0 179:32   0     4M  1 disk
mmcblk0boot1 179:64   0     4M  1 disk
