What is the max capacity eMMC supported by NanoPi Zero2?

Moderators: chensy, FATechsupport

https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_Zero2#Hardware_Spec states:
Flash: Supports eMMC Module
No maximum is stated, but FRIENDLY ELEC only sells 32 and 64GB cards.
I have seen 126GB cards for sale, with what appears to be the same module format, for Orange Pi devices and with the same manufacturer of the eMMC chip itself. Assuming that the module pinout is compatible with the NanoPi Zero2, is the 256GB card likely to work with it? Or are there architectural constraints that mean that the Zero2 could not support an eMMC card of this size?
The product page https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=69&product_id=304 states that the Zero2 has: MicroSD Slot: MicroSD x l for external storage up to 128GB so I suspect that 256GB may be beyond the capabilities of this (fantastic) device.
Thank you in anticipation of any response!
I have my Nanopi Zero2 board.
I bought regular eMMC card 256GB (OrangePI branded) - working like a charm :)

Installation OS to eMMMC is much more simple:

download image on SD card and unzip it

root@FriendlyWrt:/opt/upload# fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk2
GPT PMBR size mismatch (15234373 != 488554495) will be corrected by write.
The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the primary appears OK, so that will be used.
The backup GPT table is not on the end of the device.
