How To Create One LIV Disk Image of SD Card
The LIV disk image of SD card is used to boot target device up and to install the entire system to on-baord eMMC.
- Prerequisites
- one free loop device
- prewritten script, mksd-linux.sh (extracted from mksd-linux.sh.gz)
- the built sdcard image (LBV3) (LBV5) (LBV6) (e.g. fsl-image-qt5-imx6qrsb4410a1.sdcard)
- 5GB more available disk space for LIV disk image (e.g. 4410A1LIV6000.img & 4410A1LIV6000.img.gz)
- Commands
$ LODEV=$(sudo losetup -f)
$ MKSD=mksd-linux.sh
$ gunzip -c mksd-linux.sh.gz > ${MKSD}
$ SDCARD=fsl-image-qt5-imx6qrsb4410a1.sdcard
$ LIV=4410A1LIV6000.img
$ cp ${SDCARD} ${LIV}
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=${LIV} bs=1M seek=3700 count=0
$ echo -e "d\n2\nn\np\n2\n24576\n\nw" | sudo fdisk -u ${LIV}
$ sudo losetup -o $((24576*512)) ${LODEV} ${LIV}
$ sudo e2fsck ${LODEV}
$ sudo resize2fs ${LODEV}
$ mkdir -p ~/mnt
$ sudo mount ${LODEV} ~/mnt
$ sudo mkdir ~/mnt/{mk_inand,image}
$ sudo cp ${MKSD} ~/mnt/mk_inand/
$ sudo chmod +x ~/mnt/mk_inand/${MKSD}
$ sudo cp ${SDCARD} ~/mnt/image/
$ sudo umount ~/mnt
$ sudo losetup -d ${LODEV}
$ gzip -c9 ${LIV} > ${LIV}.gz
