Increasing the size of initfsram for mfgtool

valentinafernan — Fri, 22 Jul 2016 22:33:27 GMT

Hello,

I need to flash a 200+MB image to NAND, but the rootfs created on RAM by the MFGTOOL is only 120M, how can I increase this size?

Thanks

Hi Valentina

mfg tool is small linux image which is located

in ..Profiles/Linux/OS Firmware/firmware.

Images which are programmed on board are located

in ..Profiles/Linux/OS Firmware/files, seems there should be

no problem with its size. These images are build independently

from mfg tool.

Best regards

igor

Hello Igor,

my question is different, when the mfgtool image boots and creates the ram image, the space available in the rootfs is only 120MiB, 20MiBare used by the files and thus only a 100MiB image can be stored in /tmp to flash the nand. I need the rootfs in RAM to be at least 200MiB

my rootfs.ubi is around 200MiB, when my mfgtool script (ucl.xml) sends the file via USB, the file won't fit the temporary file system created by the mfgtool firmware, I need this file system to be 200MiB
