Thanks for the reply Robert, I've tried several times dd'ing the card (also tried Wind32 disk imager).
I've noticed that even uboot nor the Angstrom distro cannot detect the card when I plug it into the board. I tried "lsblk -l" with no success. That is why I was asking, since the microSD will not be present, if I could just dd the image to the emmc directly. What do you mean about "the current setup"?
