Hi
I've been following the steps at
https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black; Trying build the
latest mainline kernel with the minimum Debian filesystem.
I don't quite understand what is happening in the following steps under "Setup
microSD/SD card"
*sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=${DISK} bs=1M count=10sudo dd if=./u-boot/MLO
of=${DISK} count=1 seek=1 conv=notrunc bs=128ksudo dd
if=./u-boot/u-boot.img of=${DISK} count=2 seek=1 conv=notrunc bs=384kCreate
Partition Layout:sudo sfdisk --in-order --Linux --unit M ${DISK}
<<-__EOF__1,,0x83,*__EOF__Format Partitions:for: DISK=/dev/mmcblk0sudo
mkfs.ext4 ${DISK}p1 -L rootfs*
I realise the a card is being wiped and then formatted but I'm not sure
why.
The default Debian sd card image (and other images I found) Have separate
boot partition, however in this example only one partition is created.
Why is this tutorial different?
Is it just a new feature of U-boot?
Also after following the all the steps in the tutorial the the beagelbone
black will boot from the SD card but it will hang on the line "net eth0:
phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1" for about 30 sec before showing
the login prompt but that is probably a question for another thread.
