DM8127IPNC : create ubifs image

Marko Shink

Hi,

I was trying to create ubifs filesystem image with "make ubifs", but i got error : "mkfs.ubifs: cannot execute binary file".
It seems that "mkfs.ubifs" in mtd-utils from IPNC is built for ARM, so it doesn't run on PC.

I have built mtd-utils for 32bit Linux (Ubuntu), and it works fine.
I have included "mkfs.ubifs" in attachment if you don't want to build it yourself.5732.mkfs.ubifs.zip

Regards,
Marko.

Marko,

Can you run the command "file mkfs.ubifs"? This will tell you whether its compiled for ARM/Intel or not

Hi Renjith,

Thanks. I tried as you suggested.
mtd-utils binaries that come with IPNC are compiled for 64 bit Linux, but my host PC is 32 bit Ubuntu .

ORIGINAL, doesn't work on 32 bit Ubuntu :
file mkfs.ubifs
mkfs.ubifs: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), BuildID[sha1]=0xa97e9f63273bc697e27bf5fc9faa3d09246034bf, not stripped

My build, works OK on 32 bit Ubuntu :
file mkfs.ubifs
mkfs.ubifs: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=0x197d2301c25429d1e8e302ba2dca531cc7135ea4, not stripped

And the same is with "mkfs.jffs2".

Thanks again,
Marko.

I shared the instruction for recompile the MTD Utils, just in case someone needs it.
