Overview over which images can boot from eMMC and/or USB

MichaIng commented 3 years ago

Most images can be flashed to eMMC and USB directly, but e.g. in case of RPi it depends on the model and RPi 3 non-plus needs to be programmes etc. So generally an overview would be awesome, to now which image can boot from where.

@MichaIng: Is this issue actual? Or will this be obsolete if we have a howto about running DietPi from eMMC or USB devices?

Still a task, not sure whether even better to (additionally) add this to the download page. E.g. the Odroid C2 cannot boot from USB, but from eMMC and SD card only.

Idea: Add a section in the Docs HowTo: "Booting from SD card, USB, eMMC, M.2" Possibly it is sufficient to update the blog post (see below) with a table and extend it to M.2?
