Can't run pre-built image flash script from Adeneo

[EdwinFetzer]

I have i.MX53 QSB and have VMware running on my desktop PC with the Linux LTIB image from Freescale.

I am trying to flash my SD card in my desktop PC with the pre-built Adriod image from Adeneo, but the script is failing.

This is the script output:

WARNING: /dev/sdd1 will be entirely erased!

Are you sure you want to continue ("y" to continue) y/*

Could not stat /dev/sdd14 --- No such file or directory

The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?

I am not sure what is going on here.  I would appreciate any help with this topic...

I am embarrased and clearly showing my lack of linux skills.  The script is working now. 

Thank you very much for your help!

my mistake is cat /proc/partitions, here sdb is my SD card (sreenshoot)..  your are using the sdd1 and is a partition in your SD...

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem. I have a SD card formatted as FAT32 volume. When I do cat proc/partitions, I get the below output -

major minor  #blocks     name

   8        0    3872256     sda

   8        1    3868160     sda1

   8       16   20971520    sdb

   8       17   20051968    sdb1

   8       18          1         sdb2

   8       21     916480     sdb5

/dev/sda is the drive and /dev/sda1 is the volume. When I try with /dev/sda/ I get

ERROR: Forbidden to write to /dev/sda

Syntax:  ./flash_prebuilt_android.sh [device]

Example: ./flash_prebuilt_android.sh /dev/sdg

and /dev/sda1 gives below error -

BLKRRPART: Invalid argument

OK

Warning: start=8192 - this looks like a partition rather than

the entire disk. Using fdisk on it is probably meaningless.

I'm using the SD card in ubuntu VM on host mac. Please help me identifying where I'm wrong. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Nicolas,

thanks for the reply

when i execute mount is see

/dev/sdd1 on /media/b6efae76-a7bb-4f91-a761-b1db3539e773 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks)

I am very new to using linux and believe this to be the microSD card.  I am also not sure what you mean by '/cat/partitions' as it doesn't do anything when i type it...just says no such file or directory.

kindest regards,

Edwin

Hi Edwin

I think you should use /dev/sdd instead of the /dev/sdd1, but to be sure type first /cat/partitions to know the correct where is your SD mapped.

hope this can help you.
