Linux: How to flash the eMMC on Beaglebone Black

Linux/BEAGLEBK: Beaglebone Black partition and flash the eMMC alternatives

Tool/software: Linux

Hi,

I have a question about how to partition and flash the eMMC on Beaglebone Black. The most direct approach is to boot from the SD card, then use fdisk utility installed on SD card to partition and copy files onto eMMC. I was able to partition the eMMC into multiple partitions with vfat and ext4 file formats by following this thread: https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors/f/791/t/704196.

Now the question is, is there a convenient alternative to do so? Is there a way to do this from a host PC and not relying on the software running on Beaglebone Black itself? What is a better way to do this and how we can achieve this?

Thank you for the help!
