Mfgtools does not create Android SD card similar to one provided in kit

We are attempting to recreate the Android SD card that is provided with the Sabre SDB kit. The Freescale 8GB San Disk SD card is labeled:

MX6Q-SDB

Android r13.4

110-77482 A

I am using Mfgtools-Rel-13.01.00_ER_MX6Q_UPDATER that comes with the latest JB4.2.2.1.1.0 download.

I have the following setting in my INI file:

[profiles]

chip = MX6Q Linux Update

[platform]

board = SabreSD

[LIST]

name = Android-SabreSD-SD

After running Mgftool2, I noticed that the number of partitions on the new SD card does not match the Freescale Android SD card.

Mfgtool creates "4" partitions.
The Android SD card has "5" partitions.
- The 5^th partition is a FAT and contains many Android folders including Download and Apps.

Why are the number of partitions different?
Who created the SD card image?

Not sure if this is the answer but you are comparing different Android versions (ICS versus JB) , which may (I am not Android expert) have different # of partitions.

I was able to plug the Saber OTG port into my PC and see it as a mass storage device. From there I was able to download my Android apps.

Thank you.
