problem about formatting SD Card for DM365

I had the same problem with SUSE 10.  I could however partition and format the card on Ubuntu.  Just getting the card formatted will not allow you to boot on the EVM.  There are some other threads on here regarding this.  Maybe someone can chime in with the latest info.

Hi, I am author of the utility.

run please:
sh -x ./dm3xx_Sd_boot format /dev/sdc

and send me logs. It seems sfdisk for you Fedora Core 9 is too old. Send me also output of "sfdisk --help"

You may try to make 40MB first partition manually.

I couldn't find any way to send you the logs, so I post them here.

In additional, My SD Card is just 32MB, Could it be a problem ?

any way thank you and, I hope you could gimme the solution.

I need log exactly after   sfdisk -uM -q /dev/sdc, where you cut it off.

Please remove -q in sfdisk -uM -q /dev/sdc in the script.

I did it...

I formatted SD Card successfully after changed to another SD Card.

but new problem was occured.

why I tried to boot u-boot by SD Card was,,,I thought u-boot is broken on DM365.

I couldn't see anything on the terminal through serial connection.

It doesn't show me anything even a letter.

so...I just tried to boot with SD Card on DM365 after formatted and data copy successfully.

I did set the switch4 BTSEL 2 and BTSEL 0 on and switch5 vcore on.

but it still doesn't show me anything..

I tried switch4 BTSEL1 and BTSEL 0 on <- it's serial booting mode...maybe..

it shows me something like broken letters...it means serial connection is alive, right?

but I can't see anything on SD Card boot mode...

doest that mean the problem is not about u-boot ? doest that mean there is some problems on DM365 physically ?
