How to burn image to SD card

How to burn image to onboard eMMC

Note:
Because the SD card and the EMMC device share the same SOC interface, it is not possible to directly burn the image to the EMMC through the SD card system. If you want to burn the EMMC image, you must start the NAND flash to burn the image.

Logic:

  1. Burn the SD card image and turn the dial to the SD card to start.
  2. Copy the image booted by Nand flash and EMMC to the U disk.
  3. Boot through SD card, burn Nand flash image to Nand flash
  4. Shut down, start through Nand flash, and burn the EMMC image to EMMC

Pay attention to the dial code to switch the startup mode, refer to WIKI for more details.
