I want to copy the same configuration on more riotboards. How can i handle this with the emcc-flash not the sd-card?.

    There are many ways to do it.

     

    Personally I'd probably boot from an 8GB sd card and dd the full content of the eMMC to a file on the card. You can then boot other boards from the same card and dd the file onto their eMMC.

     

    Add combinations of storing the eMMC image on a USB hard drive, an NFS mount, or wherever is convenient.

     

    To save some time / space, boot from SD and use tar with appropriate switches to create an archive of the eMMC filesystem. Then on the board you want to copy it onto you'd have to fdisk the eMMC, create a filesystem, untar the archive, and likely dd a u-boot.imx onto the eMMC in the proper place.  If you're familiar with the BBB that's more or less exactly what their flash process does..
