Clone emmc

Greetings,
I presently have a perfectly configured M4 using the EMMC. I now need to replicate this over many more M4s. Is there anyway to clone the configured emmc and burn it onto the other M4 emmc cards? That way I only have to change a few setting on each one like IP Address,ports, etc. If I had used a SD Card that would have been simple but it was decided that we should use the emmc instead.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am no expert with Linux but how about using the dd command to copy the emmc to an SD card?

I recently did this to replicate my SSD onto the HDD as a backup. Not sure about emmc but pretty sure that should work.

As above. SD to EMMC adaptor. Read EMMC, write several times.

The EMMC card appears as an SD to Windows or Linux :geek: :)

You can also use it in reverse and plug the EMMC card into a Raspberry Pi SD slot. It works but in that configuration there is no advantage over a modern SD in terms of speed. Card reader too slow.
