==== Partition scheme ====
Changing the partition scheme may affect the boot loader update capability and / or the kernel command line parameters!
=== SD / eMMC images ===
* sector size 512 Byte
* unpartitioned area: 4MiB (0x2000 sectors)
^ Sector ^ Size ^ Usage ^
|0x0000 ... 0x0000 | 0x0001 sector / 512 Byte| MBR / Partition Table |
|0x0001 ... 0x0001 | 0x0001 sector / 512 Byte| |
|0x0002 ... 0x07ff | 0x07fe sectors | |
|0x0800 ... 0x0fff | 0x0800 sectors / 1MiB | |
|0x1000 ... 0x17ff | 0x0800 sectors / 1MiB | |
1) See CPU reference Manual. This sector can be used for Redundant Boot Support
2) Environment organisation:
* configured environment size: 8kiB (16 Sectors)
* environment type: redundand
* primary environment (sectors): 0x0800 ... 0x080f (0x100000 ... 0x101fff)
* redundand environment (sectors): 0x0810 ... 0x081f (0x102000 ... 0x103fff)
* partitioned area:
^ Partition ^ Size ^ Usage ^
| 1 | 4 MiB | Kernel image |
| 2 | 256 MiB | root FS |
| 3 | 256 MiB | Spare, not formatted |
| 4 | ---- | ---- |
The partition scheme is defined using the config file configs/platform-tq-mbls102xa/config/images//uboot-sd.config. The creation of the image is controlled using the PTXdist packages image-uboot-tqma6-hd.
To create the image the genimage host tool is used. This tool is automatically selected and built. You can find the build directory under /platform-MBa6x/build-host/genimage. There is also a README file documenting how to use this tool.
