Bootable SD card

[kelamahim]

Hi!

Im following the instructions here:

http://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_SD_card#Bootloader

but I can`t find the cardroot command... Looks like it is not in the debian repositories...

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Miha

Cardroot is not a command. It is a variable that you're setting.

Sorry, I somehow did not see the assigment sign..

I have another question:

Does the dd command erase the flash memory before writing to it? Would it be reasonable to erase the entire card using

dd if=/dev/zero of=${card}

?

I assume that when the card is new/empty, then there are just zeroes on it, however if it is partitioned with some sort of file system it has to have some data on it somewhere. Am I right?

Thanks,

Miha
