Lenovo IdeaPad 1 11ADA05: How can I access the eMMC?

Solution 1:

With the Ubuntu mainline Kernel 5.13.0-051300rc1-generic the eMMC is now detected.

Solution 2:

Likely your laptop is too new for Linux 5.8. Try any Linux distro with latest Linux (5.10), e.g. Guix: https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/latest/

Solution 3:

I have the 14ADA05 and no version of Linux will detect the eMMC drive, I have tried Lubuntu, Arch & Mint. I have used a Samsung FIT 32GB USB3 (using a 32GB SHXC card with install binaries) to install Lubuntu and it rocks. However, I believe the eMMC controller is not yet supported in the Linux community but I don't know how to identify an unknown device. dmesg shows one "AMD-Vi: Unable to read/write to IOMMU perf counter" and "pci 0000:00:00.2 can't derive routing for PCI INT A", but there are more messages that could point to the type of hardware but I don't know what to look for. https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=3aca8223d6
