just wondering, i have a project running nicely on a bela and i plan to transition that to a bela mini. bela is installed on the emmc. is there a way to copy everything to an sdcard on bela and use that on the mini? i have a couple of lv2s and other stuff compiled from source and would like to just copy that over.
if this is not doable, what is the easiest way to connect the bela mini to the internet? wifi dongle?
The file /opt/Bela/bela_flash_emmc.sh does the opposite: copying from SD card to eMMC. Some changes to that should achieve what you wanted. Connecting a Mini to internet can be done via internet sharing from the host. This mostly works, but requires you to use http://bela.local/ (or ssh bela.local) instead of the regular IP address. Otherwise, a wifi dongle also works. I have a 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter.

just swapping all the sd and emmc paths?
regarding wlan dongle, does yours work out of the box? or do you need additional firmware?
i will probably try with internet sharing from the host first, my quick attempt with regular bela failed on osx 10.14

are there any docs on this? EDIT: found...
giuliomoro Let me try it on one of our boards, as doing it on yours and doing it wrong may corrupt your eMMC.
Ok, this should do: https://github.com/BelaPlatform/bela-image-builder/blob/master/misc/rootfs/opt/Bela/bela_flash_emmc.sh
chmod +x bela_flash_emmc.sh, and run it with FLASH_DESTINATION=sd ./bela_flash_emmc.sh
