To all
I have a TS-7390 and have been trying to set up a larger SD card for
use doing native development right on the board.
I've been trying to partition both a 4 gig and a 2 gig card with no
success. Thanks to all who've had suggestions to help.
Here's what I've found out, and I'm posting it to save others the
trouble I've gone through to figure this out.
1. If you are using the TS9445 board for the console, it apparently
reroutes JP1. If you use this board, the big toggle switch
on that board supercedes JP1 (switches between MTD boot and SD boot)
2. Apparently TS either didn't implement it or has a bug in the SD card
driver, making native partitioning not possible.
fdisk works fine on USB memory sticks, but will not work on the SD
card. It goes through the motions, and appears
to work, but actually accomplishes nothing.
3. You CAN dd to the card, write to the card, etc.
4. There are some utilities to otherwise manipulate the card at:
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7300-linux/binaries/ts-utils/
sdlock and sdctl -these have some interesting features, including
erase, unlock, readonly, etc. but they don't solve the
fdisk problem.
If anyone knows any different about the native fdisk (both the compiled
one and the busybox one) then please correct me.
Thanks
Larry
