I am sure it has 4G eMMC as it says so on the chip. I does not boot without the SD inserted. It does boot form the SD card. I do not seem to be able to edit the SD card.
When I try to edit the SD card I find that it does not have anything on it? If it is booting from the eMMC does it need an SD card to be inserted? Could it be that the SD is not containing anything but is somehow helping it boot? It definitely only boots with the SD card in and the boot switch depressed. It does not boot if the switch is not depressed.
