Re: [beagleboard] Re: Booting off Micro SD Card
I was able to use my micro sd card as an external hard drive. I first did what was recommended on this series of posts, I added: mmcdev=1 bootpart=1:2 mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk1p2 ro optargs=quiet and saved it as uEnv.txt I then inserted the micro sd card into the micro sd slot and the BBB saw it as sda1. I created a directory named 'exteranal' under /media and I then mounted sda1 to media using the following: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/external -o uid=1001,gid=1001,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137 I used uid and gid 1001 because that is the user I am on my BBB. I initially tried 1000 but then I could not add, copy or delete files to the 'external' folder. I am pretty happy with this outcome, but will be moving (unmounting) my sda1 and putting it in my web server folder /var/www/ (mounting it there) so that I can created mysql/php websites. Thank you all for being of great help. I learned a lot. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

Ah, never mind seems you want to mount the whole 32GB as /var/www ? On Wed, Sep 3, 2014 at 9:59 AM, William Hermans yyrk...@gmail.com wrote: *chmod 777 is bad advice.

[beagleboard] Re: Booting off Micro SD Card
You said you couldn't add the microSD card - did you follow the instructions at: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:MicroSD_As_Extra_Storage Actually, you can format the microSD card on another machine (I used windows xp). Then put the uEnv.txt file in partition 0. I you just formated the 32GB as one partion, then just copy the uEnv.txt file. See the above webpage for the contents of the uEnv.txt file. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.
