Prepare Sharp Root fs with FC
by Tong Lai Yu, July 2006
Sharp ARM 9 Flash Card ( FC ) Setup
Currently, the only method for preparing the CF root filesystem is to
use a Linux host. The root filesystem requires about 50MB of storage.
Prepare a 64MiB CF card with one partition. Make the type 83, for
Linux. Then, format the partition as ext3.
May first check the FC with
The format with
Mount the filesystem, copy the contents of build/root/rootfs.tar.gz to
the CompactFlash card, unmount it and then sync the contents to the CF
card. If you feel compelled to copy the files from your
system hard drive to the CF card, use rsync instead of cp.
- mkdir /mnt/usb ; mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
- tar zxf build/root/rootfs.tar.gz -C /mnt/usb
- umount /mnt/usb
- sync
