Title: How to install image on micro SDHC ?
Post by: sebswed on January 19, 2013, 01:20:14 PM
Hi there.

I just purchased the A13 with onboard wifi and some UEXT modules (i/o + irda). I'm running a netbook on Ubuntu and try to install the Linaro image on a micro SDHC card as described on https://www.olimex.com/wiki/Prebuilt_SD_card_images_running_debian (https://www.olimex.com/wiki/Prebuilt_SD_card_images_running_debian) I'm running the following code in my terminal dd bs=4M oflag=sync if=/home/sebastiaan/Downloads/olinuxino_linaro_alip.img of=/dev/sdb1 after which I get the following result in my terminal sebastiaan@Uniscan:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for sebastiaan:
root@Uniscan:/home/sebastiaan# dd bs=4M oflag=sync if=/home/sebastiaan/Downloads/olinuxino_linaro_alip.img of=/dev/sdb1

931+0 records out
3904897024 bytes (3.9 GB) copied, 863.94 s, 4.5 MB/s
root@Uniscan:/home/sebastiaan#


When I check my SDHC card I see the files as attached in the screenshot (hmm... I don't seem to be able to insert an attachment in this post). Anyway, the 5 files that appear on the SDHC card seem to be wrong. Just symbols and strange characters.

The micro SDHC card I'm using is a class 4, 8GB card brand name Nokia (I got it with my Nokia phone) placed inside an SD to micro SD adapter.

I'm not a linux expert. Could someone give me some advise?

Kind regards,
Sebastiaan

remove the "1" from the sdb1

# dd bs=4M oflag=sync if=/home/sebastiaan/Downloads/olinuxino_linaro_alip.img of=/dev/sdb
