Tool/software: Linux
Hi Processors team,
My customer is trying to get Processor SDK up and running, and when they mount their SD card by following the steps outlined in 1.1.3 of the users guide, they get a "rootfs" not mounted error(see screenshot). Their SD card is 64GB and they have a 1GB boot partition. Do you know what could be causing this issue?
Thanks,
Barend
Hi Barend,
When I try to create SD card with AM65x PSDK Linux v5.03, I am able to do it with 8GB SD card and docker rootfs.Please see the full log I have on my side:
pbotev@lin-0306:~/ti-processor-sdk-linux-am65xx-evm-05.03.00.07/bin$ sudo ./create-sdcard.sh
################################################################################
This script will create a bootable SD card from custom or pre-built binaries.
The script must be run with root permissions and from the bin directory of
the SDK
Example:
$ sudo ./create-sdcard.sh
Formatting can be skipped if the SD card is already formatted and
partitioned properly.

I am using: 8GB SD card and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit host machine.
Make sure you are following section 1.1.1. Linux SD Card Creation Guide of the user guide.
Note also that if you need full rootfs, you should select "2 tisdk-rootfs-image-am65xx-evm.tar.xz" and use at least 16GB SD card. Check below section for rootfs info:
If you still have issues, please provide me the log with all your steps when running create-sdcard.sh script. Provide me also what is your host OS.

Pavel
