i was able to get another raspberry pi and was able to get the device to be detected with the aux power
without power running lsusb doesnt show the amlogic gx chip
with aux power lsusb shows amlogic gx chip.

hey i wanted to let you know i got it running and ran updates its running ubuntu!
there were some power issues but iu got them solved and finally after several attempts it showed up as usb device i was able to use that tool baobab the gnome disk imager.
Thank you for your support. I would like to help out in the forum if possible
could we use other low resource linux distros? like linux mate or the ones for digital signage?
See the notes at the top about weston. Weston is a wayland compositor and uses the least resources and comes pre-installed on the server images. It is much faster and tear free compared to X11. Ubuntu 22.04 Weston Desktop Help
I have a Le Potato and a 64gb emmc module on the way from Amazon, but I’m curious if a mac can mount the Le Potato correctly in order to flash it. If not I have a Raspberry Pi Zero that should do the trick, but I’m still curious.
Maybe I didn’t clarify myself good enough, sorry for that. My real question is: can I flash, for instance, the Raspbian image on the eMMC board so that the Le Potato SBC can boot from the eMMC module instead of the SD card? Which would mean that I can fully get rid of an SD card to boot up the system?
You can flash Le Potato’s eMMC. You can use the above guide to flash the regular SD card image to the eMMC and it will work. The other way is to just flash to /dev/mmcblk0 when booted from MicroSD card. Either way works.
Hi…I followed the procedure above and was able to successfully erase the emmc partition but I cannot get the next step to proceed. I have fully disconnected the La Frite board and powered it on exactly as before but every time I try to run the ums-emmc command it gives me the device not found error. I even tried re-running the erase-emmc as before but it also gives the same device not found error.
Is there a step I am missing? I only received the board and emmc modules a couple of days ago
interestingly enough, I didn’t hold down the reset button when I plugged in the LF board to my Pi and I then was able to run it. Not sure what difference that ended up making by not holding down that reboot button but it was enough that it worked.
If there is no software on any boot device and the USB A next to the IR sensor is plugged into a USB host device, the board will go into USB load mode automatically.
I just got a ALL-H3-cc and an emmc module 32GB when i tried above command and substitute the name with all-h3-cc and tell script not found if try with the aml-s905x-cc it of course says device not found. can you tell me what command i should useing to erase-emmc and ums-emmc on a ALL-H3-cc board>
