Prepare the SD card for the Minnow Board ======================================== 1. Partition the SD card with a GPT partition table sudo cgdisk /dev/mmcblk0 Create two partitions: a) First partition of a few dozens of megabytes, which will be used to store the bootloader and the kernel image. Type must be EF00 (EFI partition). b) Second partition of any size, which will be used to store the root filesystem. Type must be 8300 (Linux filesystem) 2. Prepare the boot partition We will format it, mount it, copy the EFI data generated by Buildroot, and the kernel image. sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n boot /dev/mmcblk0p1 sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt sudo cp -a output/images/efi-part/* /mnt/ sudo cp output/images/bzImage /mnt/ sudo umount /mnt 3. Prepare the root partition We will format it, mount it, and extract the root filesystem. sudo mkfs.ext3 -L root /dev/mmcblk0p2 sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt sudo tar -C /mnt -xf output/images/rootfs.tar sudo umount /mnt 4.
