I like to boot an "installer" system from a ramdisk which then has all the tools I need to format the eMMC, install the new OS, etc. Not much magic required, just building a separate installer image that has all the right tools. This can be started using a network device or you could also run such a setup from a removable SD card (this is how it's done on the BeagleBoneBlack for example) -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
