[Hampshire] eMMC

2017-03-27 Thread Peter Alefounder via Hampshire
It appears that many modern laptop computers have a type of flash
memory storage called eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard). Some web sites
claim that this will not work with Linux; others that it will if the
system is sufficiently new, and yet others that it will if the system 
is an old one.

Has anyone had any experience of installing Linux on a machine with 
eMMC?

AFAIK, it's worked since forever on my ancient ARM Chromebook (even
with kernel 4.10.5).
