Prepare the SD card for the Minnow Board
|
||
|
|
========================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Partition the SD card with a GPT partition table
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sudo cgdisk /dev/mmcblk0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create two partitions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a) First partition of a few dozens of megabytes, which will be
|
||
|
|
used to store the bootloader and the kernel image. Type must
|
||
|
|
be EF00 (EFI partition).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
b) Second partition of any size, which will be used to store the
|
||
|
|
root filesystem. Type must be 8300 (Linux filesystem)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Prepare the boot partition
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We will format it, mount it, copy the EFI data generated by
|
||
|
|
Buildroot, and the kernel image.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n boot /dev/mmcblk0p1
|
||
|
|
sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
|
||
|
|
sudo cp -a output/images/efi-part/* /mnt/
|
||
|
|
sudo cp output/images/bzImage /mnt/
|
||
|
|
sudo umount /mnt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Prepare the root partition
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We will format it, mount it, and extract the root filesystem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sudo mkfs.ext3 -L root /dev/mmcblk0p2
|
||
|
|
sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt
|
||
|
|
sudo tar -C /mnt -xf output/images/rootfs.tar
|
||
|
|
sudo umount /mnt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Enjoy
