NAND to SD


We are at SZ-final, not beta:





(last upload is bad, use mine: page__st__260#entry170166)


So you should have the /boot/uImage-3, and /boot/uImage is a link to it.
 
Yeah, I know SZ-final was released. I'm just not using it... The instructions were also written before SZ-final too.


I'm redoing everything, but following the instructions exactly (rather than formatting ext4), in case that's the cause of the problem
 
To automate the process? I did think about that, but I wouldn't know how to automate some parts, and rather than "mounting", I just popped the SD card out and back in :) Maybe down the line...
 
So it automounted so I could format it :) I don't know the command to mount it - usually gives me some error about fstab or something like that, so I just eject and reinsert and Linux does it all for me
 
Still don't get it.


You meant you unmounted to partition/format.


Then mounted to make the copy.
 
No, the steps I used were:

  • sudo su
  • unmount /media/old_card_name
  • cfdisk -z /dev/mmcblk0
  • In cfdisk, I created a single, full size partition - New, Write, Quit
  • Ejected card and reinserted it - so I got "/media/<sd_card_partition>"
  • mkfs.ext2 -L devboot /dev/mmcblk0p1
  • mount --bind / /media/nand (this was previously created the first time I did it)
  • cp -va /media/nand/* /media/deboot
  • mousepad (still in sudo; to create autoboot.txt from here)
  • Shutdown Pandora, and turn back on again


The red lines are commands entered, the black text are the manual bits
