But i would need to strip the jumpers and solder the cables to the board right?
I'd really prefer using a cable from an old computer case, like the one in my setup. This way, you would have something that you could plug and remove.

From reading that thread, I remembered something: Do avoid wiping /dev/mmcblk0. Why?
U-Boot is supposed to copy itself from RAM to eMMC, and from eMMC to RAM, depending on which one has a missing copy.
But on some Kindle firmware versions, that doesn't work.
So avoid at all wiping /dev/mmcblk0. Keep your eyes open so you don't end up doing it by accident. You have been warned.
