Hi Margarita,

I looked through this thread. I do not get any log information. I get CCCCCCC displayed on the serial port. I get this regardless of the boot switch being set to boot from flash or SD card. My issue is not related to the referenced thread.

I looked at the SD card and it did not contain any binaries or boot files. I tried to follow the procedure to load these files on SD card and it failed.

My issue is with the SD Card build script.

I outlined the errors. Is it possible to get someone to comment on my specific errors?

sfdisk: invalid option -- 'D'

Usage:
sfdisk [options] <dev> [[-N] <part>]
sfdisk [options] <command>
My Ubuntu Release 16.04.1 does not support the sfdisk -- 'D" option.
I did some research about the issue and the advice was to remove the -D, -H, -S and -C options that are no longer supported.
After doing so the script ran but had an error copying the uImage file.

After multiple attempts to format the card to provide my space for the uImage I have not had any success.
Is there an updated script that supports later versions of Ubuntu?
Stuck at ground zero with trying to get the board up and running. The documentation states the binaries are supposed to be delivered on the SD card but they don't seem to ever be.
Any suggestions or help with this issue would be appreciated. Just need to pointed in the right direction.

Hello,

Please check this guide:
processors.wiki.ti.com/.../IPNC_RDK_DM38x_,_DM8127
What is boot partition size?

Below are the messages displayed prior to trying to resolve the issue at hand. In an effort to increase the boot partition size the SD Card is no longer formatted correctly. This needs to be done.

Installed Ubuntu 14.04 and was able to run script.

I already solved this problem..

You have to read this forum branch:

e2e.ti.com/.../509510

So you need to change

echo CYLINDERS - $CYLINDERS
{
echo ,9,0x0C,*
echo 10,,,-
} | sfdisk -D -H 255 -S 63 -C $CYLINDERS $DRIVE
