- System Clocks
 % sysctl -a |grep freq

 Install pkgsrc/sysutils/estd from pkgsrc and start it on bootup
 for automatic up-/downscaling.

System image: dd to eMMC.
 http://www.invisible.ca/arm/

 pinebook-pro:
 1. Insert microSD, boot (Linux from eMMC comes up),
 2. hit "Restart",
 3. It will boot from microSD.
 4. dd'ing to eMMC for installation, the eMMC is faster
- eMMC can disable with switch inside,and boot MicroSD.
