Re: [ts-7000] Re: Problems with TS-7400 and SD-cards

[Mike Ingle <>]

Someone else may have a better answer, but what I have done is to mount the dd image of the root filesystem from TS on a linux box in loopback mode, and then I made a tarball of the image.  I partiioned my larger SD card with all the partions identical to the 512mb sd card except that the last partion is the rest of the sd card space.  I used dd to fill the first partitions, and untarred the tarball into the last partions.  (I used mkfs.ext2 to create the last partion before untarring into it)

Hi all and Samuel,

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 SD cards of 2GB and/or 4GB. QUESTION 1: Is it possible (work with Linux booted from 2GB-4GB SD cards)?

I have read in this post that I cannot do SD cards with Linux with 2GB-4GB SD cards with the image that is in "http://www.embeddedarm.com/software/arm-linux-fastboot-ts7300.php".
QUESTION 2: What do I have to do in order to copy the image in a 2GB-4GB SD card?

Thanks,
Ismael
