eMMC Size

  • DEM-3000G, DEM-3000H: 0x3A3C00000 bytes (16GB: 4GB as internal storage and 12GB as emulated memory card)
  • DEM-3000K, DEM-3000JEC chassis K, DEM-3000L, DEM-3000JEC chassis L, CEM-3000NE2: 0xE1400000 bytes (3604 MiB)
  • DEM-3000P, DEM-3000JEC chassis P, PDEL-100x: 0xE3400000 bytes (3636 MiB)
  • PCH-1xxx, PTEL-1xxx: 0xE1400000 bytes (3604 MiB) or 0xE3400000 bytes (3636 MiB)
