I am trying to initialize an SD Chip using the instructions on Page 69 of SDK version 0.5 PDF which read:
#cp fsl-image-core-ls1043ardb_<release date>.rootfs.tar.gz temp/
#tar xvfz fsl-image-core-ls1043ardb_<release date>.rootfs.tar.gz
#rm fsl-image-core-ls1043ardb_<release date>.rootfs.tar.gz temp/
I have several questions:
1) I built the x11 image - it produces a file with an extension rootfs.ext2.gz but does not build a rootfs.tar.gz file. The instructions suggest that the file needs to be uncompressed and un-tar'ed on the SD chip. Is that correct?
2) The first instruction puts the fs on the SD chip, but don't the instructions need to cd to temp before un-tarring?
3) If these instructions are wrong, what are the correct instructions?
Thanks,
Don
1) Use the rootfs.ext2.gz file instead of rootfs.tar.gz file.
2) Yes, instruction for change directory is needed.

Thank you Pavel.
1) So the U-Boot loader can accept an ext2.gz file and boot load from it, yes?
2) Can U-Boot also accept an unzipped file as well?
3) Will it boot faster if the file is unzipped prior to storing on the SD chip?
I have numbered the questions in the hope that you will answer each one.
Thanks!
Don
