This page is missing a step:

/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh

It appears this command is no longer in /uEnv.txt

I'm guessing you could edit that file and add it back before you load the sd card?

##enable BBB: eMMC Flasher:
cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh
