eMMC (Re)-Detection by Driver Re-Binding

Start Tutorials & Guides
1

The MMC subsystem driver can unbind and bind devices to re-detect them. eMMC can be hot plugged but require the driver to be re-bound for the driver run through the initial probe again to detect the device. Instead of running the commands manually, you can also use Libre Computer Flash Tool’s b-emmc rebind command which works the same as the manual commands below:

sudo ./lft.sh b-emmc rebind
# equivalent
sudo ./lft.sh b-emmc unbind
sudo ./lft.sh b-emmc bind

Hi, this not working for me on Renegade board booted off SD with updated Buster
Permission denied message even when using sudo

From root I get no such device

Renegade board is ROC-RK3328-CC.
Renegade Elite is ROC-RK3399-PC.

Renegade board is ROC-RK3328-CC

Thanks but there wasn’t any confusion around the hardware I’m using

5

We didn’t have instructions for Renegade before so you probably used the command for Renegade Elite instead.

Thanks.

This works in PiOS, will it work with Armbian too?
