Review on πŸ’» Enhance Your Computing Power with the Libre Computer eMMC Module (8GB, 4.x) by Trevor Garrett

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Finally deserved (after 3 months). I don't recommend if you don't have free time and money.

How-to's are scattered all over the internet on various forums and sites. As with AML-s905x-cc, the emmc module can only be used on three custom distributions that do not include RetroPie. By the way, RetroPie is broken very badly and it takes about two days to fix it. The emmc module is only slightly (if at all) faster than the microSD card, probably due to bottlenecks. The distribution image was transferred at a maximum speed of 16.2 MB/s. If that's a really good measure of the speed of the emmc module, then you might as well boot from USB 2.0. Note that the root credentials are: username "libre", password "computer". And after typing the command "lc_redetect_emmc" followed by the command "sudo lc_distro_transfer libre-computer/aml s905x-cc /dev/mmcblk0" you will get the names of the two available "OS snapshots" (system restore points) to transfer. THEN YOU SHOULD ENTER BOTH COMMANDS COMBINED.IE"sudo lc_distro_transfer libre-computer/aml s905x-cc /dev/mmcblk0 lc_ubuntu18.04".
