    I want to copy the same configuration on more riotboards.

    If want to pull the available eMMC flash contents, then you need a SDCARD to which you can copy the eMMC image.

    Insert SDCARD on J6 connector.

     

    detect your eMMC and SDCARD using  command ll /dev/mmcblk*

    for eMMC i got below

    root@linaro-ubuntu-desktop:~# ll /dev/mmcblk*

    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179,  0 1970-01-01 00:00 /dev/mmcblk0

    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179,  8 1970-01-01 00:00 /dev/mmcblk0boot0

    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 16 1970-01-01 00:00 /dev/mmcblk0boot1

    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179,  1 1970-01-01 00:00 /dev/mmcblk0p1

    root@linaro-ubuntu-desktop:~#

    i got below after inserting SDCARD

    root@linaro-ubuntu-desktop:~# ll /dev/mmcblk*

    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179,  0 1970-01-01 00:00 /dev/mmcblk0

    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179,  8 1970-01-01 00:00 /dev/mmcblk0boot0

    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 16 1970-01-01 00:00 /dev/mmcblk0boot1

    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179,  1 1970-01-01 00:00 /dev/mmcblk0p1

    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 24 1970-01-01 00:03 /dev/mmcblk1

    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 25 1970-01-01 00:03 /dev/mmcblk1p1

    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 26 1970-01-01 00:03 /dev/mmcblk1p2

    root@linaro-ubuntu-desktop:~#

     

     

    so my SDCARD is mmcblk1.

    dd bs=4096 if=/dev/mmcblk0  of=/dev/mmcblk1

    use above command to copy the existing Riotboard Image to SDCARD.

    I guess you got the complete riot profile backup now.

     

    How can i handle this with the emcc-flash not the sd-card?.

    SDCARD will be a good choice to backup when using dd from eMMC flash.

     

    let me know if this answers your question.
