Dear All, My parted version is 3.2. OS: Linux GNU Debian 8.6
For one of my embedded systems (arm based one) I do use parted to create bootable SD card. parted -s $DRIVE mklabel msdos First, I do clean up the first 1MiB of SD card: dd if=/dev/zero of=$DRIVE bs=1024 count=1024 The problem is that parted is generating following code from the very beginning of the MBR: 00000000 FA B8 00 10 8E D0 BC 00 B0 B8 00 00 8E D8 8E C0 00000010 FB BE 00 7C BF 00 06 B9 00 02 F3 A4 EA 21 06 00 00000020 00 BE BE 07 38 04 75 0B 83 C6 10 81 FE FE 07 75 00000030 F3 EB 16 B4 02 B0 01 BB 00 7C B2 80 8A 74 01 8B What is the purpose of this code? Why is has been put there? Such data in this place fools the ROM bootloader and hangs the board. Also, fdisk (from util-linux 2.25.2) when is creating "dos" partition table is not writing such data.
