Tool/software:
If I write directly to an SD card from linux it will be bootable by the am335x.
If I create an image file using a loop device and then program that img to the SD card in windows using Win32DiskImager, it will not boot.
Both methods used to work but now I am having issues with the second method. Any ideas on why it is no longer working?
Here are the commands I use to create the SD card (working):
umount /dev/sdb* dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=2 conv=fsync fdisk /dev/sdb << EOF n p 1 +128M t c a w EOF partprobe -s /dev/sdb mkfs.vfat -I -F 32 -n "BOOT" /dev/sdb1 partprobe /dev/sdb mkdir -p /mnt/linuxp1 mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/linuxp1 cp MLO /mnt/linuxp1 cp u-boot.img /mnt/linuxp1 sync sync umount -f /dev/sdb*
Here are the additional commands that I run to create the img file. The image file is created successfully and I am able to write it to the SD card. It just won't boot.
loop_device=`losetup -f` dd if=/dev/zero of=linux.img bs=1024 count=2097152 losetup $loop_device linux.img run the same commands above used to create the SD card, only instead of using /dev/sdb I will use $loop_device losetup -d $loop_device
