Hmm, /dev/mmcblk0boot0 AFAIK is not the actual eMMC, those are some additional storages which appear with some SBCs and kernel versions which I also didn't fully understand. Probably uncommon SPI devices.

Can you try to switch to from partition format mode to drive format mode? Then dev/mmcblk0 as a whole should be formatted, with a new partition table. I'll try to exclude those *bootN devices when formatting in partition mode.

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. Ran the command on dev/mmcblk0, first time it gave an error on dev/mmcblk0boot1 (not boot0), second try worked fine and created /dev/mmcblk0p1. :thumbsup:
