Actually with current x-loader/u-boot the 255heads/63sectors isn't a hard requirement anymore for the boot partition, so i've dropped it.. https://github.com/RobertCNelson/omap-image-builder/blob/master/tools/setup_sdcard.sh#L348 So far tested on: Beagle B6 (oldest still booting beagle i have, any boards before that had serial-ic overheating problems and eventually die under warrente.) Beagle C2 & C4 Beagle xM A2 with angstrom's: MLO-beagleboard-1.44+r16 & u-boot-beagleboard-2010.03+r65 Panda A1 with mlo/u-boot from: http://gitorious.org/pandaboard So right now i use parted to create the second partition. We could drop fdisk for the first, if we could figure out how to make parted create a partition starting at the first cylinder. For example, I've tried this and it doesn't boot: parted --script ${MMC} mkpart primary fat16 0 64 > I ask because I'm working on converting our script to python and it'd be > nice if I could use python-parted for that, but it doesn't seem to be > able to. > Regards, -- Robert Nelson http://www.rcn-ee.com/ _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
