PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X: emmc_part

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X

Tool/software:

Hi , Liu, ,

We observed that emmc_part.dump file as below works fine in TISDK 8.2, for creating emmc partition using "sfdisk /dev/mmcblk1 < emmc_part.dump"

label: dos
device: /dev/sdb
unit: sectors

/dev/sdb1 : start=       48195, size=      143360, type=c, bootable
/dev/sdb2 : start=      191555, size=     2097152, type=83
/dev/sdb3 : start=     2288807, size=     2097152, type=83
/dev/sdb4 : start=     4385965, size=     3145728, type=5
/dev/sdb5 : start=     4385970, size=      102400, type=c
/dev/sdb6 : start=     4488450, size=     2936012, type=83

the same partition is not working in TISDK 9.1.. so we changed partitions as below,

label: dos
device: /dev/sdb
unit: sectors

/dev/sdb1 : start= 48195, size= 143360, type=c, bootable
/dev/sdb2 : start= 191555, size= 2097152, type=83
/dev/sdb3 : start= 2288807, size= 2097152, type=83
/dev/sdb4 : start= 4385965, size= 3019603, type=5
/dev/sdb5 : start= 4385970, size= 100357, type=c
/dev/sdb6 : start= 4488450, size= 2915150, type=83

May i know why this behavior i am curious about it Slight smile

    Hi Manu,

    I see the difference between the 2 partitions is the sdb6 size, is my understanding correct?

    Yes, this is the change it was expecting to modify the partition..

    thing which is not working is.. in 1st scenario is sfdisk was not able to partition with the command "sfdisk /dev/mmcblk1 < emmc_part.dump"

    Also i observed that sfdisk was not part of in built package.. we add in the "util-linux " in our package..

    Is the util-linux package version different on your SDK8.2 and 9.1 builds? I am wondering it is because of the changes in util-linux package.

    TISDK 8.2:

    root@am335x-evm:~# utmpdump.util-linux -V
    utmpdump.util-linux from util-linux 2.37.4

    TISDK 9..1:

    root@am335x-evm:~# utmpdump.util-linux -V
    utmpdump.util-linux from util-linux 2.35.1

    I am wondering why the util-linux version in 9.1 is older than that in 8.2? Is it a human error?

    I see sfdisk is provided in the default rootfs image in the SDK9.1:

    root@am335x-evm:~# which sfdisk
    /usr/sbin/sfdisk
    root@am335x-evm:~# sfdisk --version
    sfdisk from util-linux 2.37.4
    root@am335x-evm:~# utmpdump.util-linux -V
    utmpdump.util-linux from util-linux 2.37.4

    Sorry its my bad.. yep its a human error, 

    TISDK 8.2:

    root@am335x-evm:~# utmpdump.util-linux -V
    utmpdump.util-linux from util-linux 2.35.1

    TISDK  9.1:

    root@am335x-evm:~# utmpdump.util-linux -V
    utmpdump.util-linux from util-linux 2.37.4

    you are seeing because i have added util-linux pacakage.. else it will not be present as default

    Sorry Manu, we won't be able to provide much support on the util-linux package. It is a open source project and TI is not involved. You might want to check its source code to see the changes between 2.35.1 to 2.37.4.
