OrangePI Plus 2E install_to_emmc fails

[nobicycle]

Thank you for your work. I'm new to OrangePi and you seem to have contributed an amazing amount.

I have Archlinux Minimal running and I tried

$ sudo sh ./install_to_emmc

Installing Linux system to emmc

WARNING: EMMC WILL BE ERASED !, Continue (y/N)?  y

  OK.

  ERROR formating fat partition.

If I run the command at the error point manually, I get:

$ sudo mkfs.vfat -n EMMCBOOT ${sdcard}p1
mkfs.fat 4.0 (2016-05-06)
mkfs.vfat: unable to discover size of /dev/mmcblk1p1

This error seems to have no reference anywhere!!!

Best wishes
