For i.MX6q SABRELITE board, root file system is in form of ramdisk image which is a part of the boot.img. boot.img is loaded on first partition of SD card which will not mount directly.

If you want to mount the root file system to access it, you have to follow these steps :

1. 1. Get the urmadisk.img file. You can find this file from Android source code or from the prebuilt image set of the i.mx6q SABRELITE.
2. 2. Unpack urmadisk.img using following command :

dd if=uramdisk.img of=ramdisk bs=64 skip=1

1. 3. Now extract it : zcat ramdisk >my_ramdisk
2. 4. Mkdir rootfs
3. 5. Cd rootfs
4. 6. cpio -id < ../ my_ramdisk
5. 7. After above steps you can find root filesystem files in rootfs folder.
6. 8. After any modification in filesystem, you can repack the rootfs using following commands:

find ./ | cpio -H newc -o > ../newramdisk

cd ..

gzip newramdisk

1. 9. You can use mkimage command to create new uramdisk.img :

mkimage -A arm -T newramdisk -C none -n newramdisk -d newramdisk.gz newuramdisk.img

Thanks,

Ajay-

You will copy any "rootfs" to the SDCard, and then you will set the kernel command line (the default one will mount the rootfs)

Please, let me know what commands/steps you already made

You can reference to the attached Linux BSP user guider.

SANJEEV1z follow the User Guide that Qiang Li had included in his reply.

Start from step 1

When you face problems, please, let us know. Post the log and which step you´re trying.

When you have finished the User Guide, you will be able to choose from where you will boot, and you will understand what you´re doing.
