AM3359: Root Drive Space Issue with BalenaEtcher: Need Assistance to Increase Space Allocation on SD Card

Part Number: AM3359

Hello TI Team,

I'm currently unsure if the issue I'm facing is due to something I missed from the Processor SDK user guide. According to the Processor SDK Linux for AM335X version 09_01_00_001, in chapter 1.1.4 on creating an SD card, we can flash the final build output wic image to the SD card using the balenaEtcher tool.

I'm encountering a challenge with root drive space after flashing through balenaEtcher. When I flash my custom-built wic image, I get a root drive size of 700MB. However, if I flash the default SDK wic image, it gives me 2.3GB of root drive space. We typically use 32GB or 64GB SD cards, and 700MB is not sufficient for our project. Could you please assist me in finding where I can change the root drive space details? I'm expecting at least around 31GB of space.

Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Hi Jins,

    Right after you flashed both your custom wic image and the SDK default wic image to the SD card, but before running it on the AM335x board for the very first time, can you please use fdisk command (or any other partition tool) on the Linux PC to compare the SD card partitions with bot wic images?
