Command line eMMC installation from SD

Armbianmonitor:

I'm trying to make a master image to install to some NanoPI Neo boards. I have everything running fine from micro SD card. I used armbian-config to flash from SD to the eMMC and it boot and works.

Now I'm looking for a way to flash the eMMC from command line in an automatic fashion, after looking for other threads in the forum I found about command nand-sata-install but it has a GUI and no --help parameter, so I guess it is not the exact program I have to use.

I tested using dd command to copy the disk, but since there is this u-boot thing I think it is not just a standard disk copy because it failed (maybe my problem).

My final idea is to have a master SD card that I plug and power on, then the OS boots, flashes the eMMC and blink leds in a special way to give me success or error. Then I can power off and remove the SD card.

 

Any advice is highly appreciated, thanks in advance and for reading this far.

Me myself has not worked with NanoPI, so my conclusion is based on other boards - I like the idea with LEDs blinking in a certain way, but could be you have to put in a fairly amount of work. But again others can also have benefits of your work. Thanks.

Hope the NanoPi experts have some great ideas to help you. Best luck.
