Next, define the bootmmc variable which we will use to boot from the micro SD card: Marvell> setenv fdt_name boot/armada-3720-community.dtb You can print the currently defined variables at any point using printenv.įirst, set proper image and device tree path and name: There are only a few variables required to boot from the micro SD card. Optionally, check that the SD card has the necessary files using the ext4ls command: When the boot starts, hit any key to stop autoboot and get to the Marvell U-Boot prompt: Unplug the SD card from your local machine and plug it into the SD card slot on the ESPRESSObin, plug the power adapter and connect to the board using the micro USB cable and Serial connection.

Exit the mounted directory and unmount it from your local machine sudo umount /mnt/sdcardįor the ESPRESSObin to boot Ubuntu file system and images placed on the removable media, we must configure U-Boot parameters to do so. Our SD card is now ready and contains the necessary images and Ubuntu file system.

This archive already contains the kernel image and the dtb file in the boot directory. If you downloaded the rootfs archive from Tech Spec page, adjust the path above to point where you stored the downloaded archive.

Now head into the mounted directory and there extract the 2 cd sudo tar -xvf /home/user/ubuntu_14.04/2 to sudo mkdir -p sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdcard Next, mount this partition on your local Linux machine (e.g.

If using e2fsprogs version =1.43, sudo mkfs.ext4 -O ^metadata_csum,^64bit /dev/sdb1.

Now we will create a new partition ( sdb1) on the empty SD (echo n echo p echo 1 echo '' echo '' echo w) | sudo fdisk /dev/sdb Since we will be formatting our SD card, we want to clear everything from it first (back up the content from your SD card before sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=100 Our microSD card is here listed as /dev/sdb but it is not empty. Insert the microSD card in your local Linux machine and you should usually see the microSD card listed as /dev/sd* device (or /dev/mmcblk0*) so make sure to check with lsblk
