4.6 Create a bootable SD card with Ubuntu 10.04 file system
Please insert a SD card in card reader on your Linux host PC
1) Check device node of your SD card by command below.
2) $cat /proc/partitions (for example, mine is /dev/sdd as below)
3) Install bootloader on SD card by command below.
$ sudo dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/sdd bs=512 && sync && sync
4) Install Linux kernel image on SD card by command below.
$ sudo dd if=uImage of=/dev/sdd seek=2048 bs=512 && sync && sync
5) Create EXT3 partition for SD card
$sudo fdisk /dev/sdd
Type the following parameters (each followed by ):
u [switch the unit to sectors instead of cylinders]
d
[repeat this until no partition is reported by the ‘p’ command ]
n [create a new partition]
p [create a primary partition]
1 [the first partition]
8192 [starting at offset sector #8192, i.e. 4MB, which leaves enough space for
the kernel, the boot loader and its configuration data]
[using the default value will create a partition that spans to the last
sector of the medium]
w [ this writes the partition table to the medium and fdisk exits]
6) Format new partition in EXT3 format
$sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdd1
7) Please find the Ubuntu file system
”lucid_imx51.tar.gz” from the
path
”CDROMOSLinuxfile systemUbuntu_1004_notebook” on User`s
CD-ROM then copy it to the partition
$ sudo tar
–xzf lucid_imx51.tar.gz
$ cd lucid
$ sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt
$ sudo cp –dpR * /mnt
