# dd if=/dev/urandom of=data bs=1 count=1024

Back up

# dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=backup bs=1 count=1024 skip=4096

Write to SD

# dd if=data of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=1 seek=4096

Read and Verify

# dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=data1 bs=1 count=1024 skip=4096
# diff data data1

If fail, it shows as below:

Binary files data1 and data differ
