Flashing of eMMC on Radxa Zero 3W fails

Zero Series
2

I still have not found a way to flash the Radxa Zero 3W via USB. The Radxa support team has not been able to fix the issue either.

However, I have found a workaround that allows me to flash the eMMC via an alternative route with reasonable effort:

  1. Flash linux image onto SD card
  2. Boot Radxa Zero 3W from SD card
  3. Configure network
  4. Copy image to Radxa Zero 3W via SSH
  5. Flash image to eMMC using dd command:
$ sudo dd if=<image> of=/dev/mmcblk0

Afterwards you can remove the SD card and the Radxa Zero 3 should boot from eMMC.
