Android SD Card Creation

marlonsmith — Fri, 05 Dec 2014 23:26:44 GMT

Hi everyone,

Are there any publicly available scripts to properly partition and format an SD card to run Android? I'm using an i.MX6 custom board, and the only way I've been able to get Android to boot is to take a prebuilt Wandboard image, dd it onto an SD card, and then copy my own kernel and filesystem onto the card afterwards.

I've tried to use the script that Wandboard provides to partition the SD card, but I'm having problems and the board will not boot.

Thanks!

Marlon

Hi Marlon

such scripts are board specific, for examples

one can look at mksdcard-android.sh included in MFG Tools:

IMX_6DQ_MFG_TOOL : Tool and documentation for downloading OS images
