Installing to internal NAND/eMMC

Dear coreelec team,

I know that the next gen coreelec devices (except SBCs) no longer have the install to internal function.

However, I was wondering if the workaround that used to exist, where CE can boot from SD card, but use internal drive for data is available? For example S922 GT King to boot from SD card but use internal for data storage?

As I still did not dare to install CoreELEC on NAN / eMMC I am using what you want. It’s easy, these are the lines of code that I included in my file /storage/.config/autostart.sh:

…
mkdir -p /tmp/internal-storage
mount -o rw /dev/data /tmp/internal-storage
mkdir -p /tmp/internal-storage/coreelec
mkdir -p /tmp/internal-storage/coreelec/timeshift
mkdir -p /tmp/internal-storage/coreelec/picons
mkdir -p /tmp/internal-storage/coreelec/picons/tvh
mkdir -p /tmp/internal-storage/coreelec/picons/vdr
mkdir -p /tmp/internal-storage/coreelec/.kodi
mkdir -p /tmp/internal-storage/coreelec/.kodi/temp
…

I use this especially to improve timeshift since I use this with several TV clients
