NAND to SD

[Linux-SWAT]

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.

 

[pmprog]

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

 

[laurencevde]

That's probably the problem yeah, sorry for that, forgot that ext4's currently not built into the kernel...

 

[pmprog]

Yep, works now. Thanks guys

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Cool ^^.


Do you plan a .pnd ?

 

[pmprog]

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...

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Which parts ?


I don't understand your popping.

 

[pmprog]

Well, the whole cfdisk mainly.


Popped = ejected

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Ye, but why eject ? I don't get it.


For the formatter, take a look at this:


http://slackware.openpandora.org/pandora/sl4p/tools/sl4p-pack/beta/sl4p-tools-0.5-noarch-1.pnd


Start here:


/pnd/scripts/sl4p-install/sl4p2sd/run.sh

 

[pmprog]

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

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Still don't get it.


You meant you unmounted to partition/format.


Then mounted to make the copy.

 

[pmprog]

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

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Don't understand...


Lol ok now. thx.


So, .pnd ?
