After your toolchain/build completes, run: ./makerunnix.sh -A X Y Z
to build an image you can then dd onto your flash. X is the size in MB of your entire flash (emulation tends to make this slightly shorter than what you think... for instance a 4GB flash might only have 3.8GB of sectors after emulation) Y is the size of the VFAT boot partition... I use 192M Z is the size of the (optional, per the -A flag) ASTURW partition. Make this 1GB or bigger. You can use all the remaining space if you want.
