Quick update on using an emmc:

I got an emmc from Hardkernel.

If you have an emmc to sdcard adapter, you can use that to install Fedora
on the emmc using the same fedora-arm-installer command as below. But don't
run the sd_fuse command.

Put the original sdcard back into the Linux host, copy everything from the
u-boot/sd_fuse directiry (see below) to the sdcard (I put it in
/home/sd_fuse). Unmount, eject the sdcard. Watch out for the symlinks we
created in the original step.

Install the emmc on the bottom of the ODroid. Don't change the boot switch
yet.

Put the sdcard back in the ODroid, boot.

On the ODroid, if you didn't use the emmc sdcard installer, you should be
able to particion the emmc (should be /dev/mmcblk0, while the sdcard is *1)
and rsync over /boot and /, adjust labels, etc.  However I didn't try that
myself.

Go to the sd_fuse directory and run
# ./sd_fusing.sh /dev/mmcblk0

shut down the ODroid, take out the sdcard and switch the boot selector
switch to emmc.

Boot.

Regards,

Daniel
