As a dissatisfied customer, I bought a bought a bunch of A64-LTS with Poe, eMMC and battery holders.<p>Turns out their eMMCs are defective. Here's what's happening:<p>The eMMCs ignore the first read instruction, and then work from the second one on. On Linux boot, initrd makes a read request that never returns, and hangs.<p>If you boot off of a mSD, it woris well. You can still mount the eMMC, but you cant boot with them.<p>I did receiver a report that someone found a bootable (doesn't ignore first read) eMMC. But that was 1.<p>(Disclosure, I opened a PayPal dispute and sent back the eMMCs of my own expense. But the never responded so I got all $293 back. This goes along with 0 communication even when I was trying to do the right thing. I'm also trying to start a hardware business, and chose this platform because of no embedded radios, etc, and 1gigE on its own SPI bus.)<p>Tldr. Defective hardware, don't buy.
