Flashing EMMC
Had the ROC now for about 2 months.. just got the emmc from libre.. using the flashing tool for windows using type A to type A usb cable.. I am able to see it as Maskrom.. and only Maskrom (wont change to anything else no matter how long I press that button).. installed the 05-14-2018 new Ubuntu image (btw was a real hassle to download, download connections droped a lot) and even older images.. Everyting installs ok..
Download Boot Start
Download Boot Success
Wait for Maskrom Start
Wait for Maskrom Success
Download Roc-RK33XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-20180514.IMG
Download image OK
When I go to boot from eMMC the thing just sits there.. Red and green light are on instead of (RED)..
When I boot with SD card it works perfectly.. and I can see the emmc partitions when I boot into Ubuntu..
I haven't had any luck booting just with the eMMC..
btw using all windows tools.. etcher for SD and Android tool for non android for emmc..
Anybody has any clues whats going on??

took me 8 trys to download the 20180514 build , flashed to SD with etcher it just sits
red/green lights on, try the 20180404 build I have that on emmc
The 20180515 build didn't work for me on eMMC, the 20180404 had some problems as well. 20180324 did work, but there are a lot of performance improvements missing. I'm curious about the latest Armbian images, but I think I'll wait for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Armbian works great on SD for me.. still wont boot from Emmc.. don't know why.. Armbian has all the features that Ubuntu 05 build has missing.. for some reason roc Ubuntu build has a lot of missing functions.. as of the armbian straight forward and clean.. hoping someone would make a mint build... now that would make the sbc's a lil friendlier to new Linux users.. yes like myself... lol .
