I have a BeagleBone Wireless with a damaged eMMC card.

I got mmcutils from 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cjb/mmc-utils.git, and 
mmc extcsd read /dev/mmcblk1
gives me this for the lifetime estimation:
eMMC Life Time Estimation A [EXT_CSD_DEVICE_LIFE_TIME_EST_TYP_A]: 0x0b
eMMC Life Time Estimation B [EXT_CSD_DEVICE_LIFE_TIME_EST_TYP_B]: 0x08
Not good, should be something like 0x01 (less that 10 percent), according to
https://www.cnx-software.com/2019/08/16/wear-estimation-emmc-flash-memory/

Also, looking at the devices I do not see a mmcbl1p1.
root@beaglebone:~# lsblk
NAME         MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mmcblk0      179:0    0 14.9G  0 disk 
└─mmcblk0p1  179:1    0  3.5G  0 part /
mmcblk1      179:8    0  3.6G  0 disk 
mmcblk1boot0 179:16   0    2M  1 disk 
mmcblk1boot1 179:24   0    2M  1 disk 
mmcblk1rpmb  179:32   0  512K  0 disk 

I am trying to boot the beaglebone from SD-card for the moment, until i get 
another one, but it will only boot when i use press the power and the boot 
button next to the sd-card.

I tried to get rid of the boot flag on /dev/mmcblk1, as per instructions on
https://www.erdahl.io/2016/12/beaglebone-black-booting-from-sd-by.html
but I get errors getting to the eMMC: 
fdisk: cannot open /dev/mmcblk1: Input/output error

Is there any way I can disable the eMMC somehow, so that it does not 
interfere with the booting of the sd-card and automatically boots the 
sd-card?

Kind Regards,
Johan Henselmans
