[ts-7000] TS-7260 _ Debian Linux on a 2GB SD card

["Ismael" <>]

Hi,

I have the TS-7260 board. Up to now, I have booted Debian Linux from the 
SD-512-7300 that I bought with the board. The SD-512-7300 has only 512MB, and I 
need to work with larger SD cards from.

So I want to create a 2GB SD card like the SD-512-7300.

Description SD-512-7300 component: TS-7300 bootable 512 MB SD card 
pre-installed with Debian Linux for ARM and full tool chain (supports TS-7260, 
TS-7300, TS-7400) (requires OP-SDSOCKET option to be checked)


I have done the following steps without obtaining a good result:

1. Download the fast boot SD Card image: "sdimage.dd.bz2" to my laptop.


2. Extract the new SD Card image file in my laptop:

:/home/ismael# bunzip2 sdimage.dd.bz2


3. Connect a SD reader to my laptop. Using an SD Card reader and the "dd" 
utility, copy the image to the disc device of the 2GB SD Card:

:/home/ismael# dd if=sdimage.dd of=/dev/sdc1
487936+0 registros de entrada
487936+0 registros de salida
249823232 bytes (250 MB) copiados, 12,3076 s, 20,3 MB/s


4. But if I list the files that are in the SD card:

:/home/ismael# ls /media/disk/
 ?%└(?%└

??%└??%└.??%

ETC
ETC
.......


QUESTION 1: The files that I have in the 2GB SD card have any sense for you? Am 
I doing something wrong?

QUESTION 2: How can I install the Debian Linux on a 2GB SD card in order to 
boot from this new SD card? Please, if it is possible, explain me step by step.

QUESTION 3: Can I work with SD cards larger than 512MB? Are there any limit in 
the size of the SD cards?


Thanks,
Ismael
