TC in a Stick
athouston:
Just one small question. My MK802 is a sealed plastic unit with a single (empty) sd card slot available. I need to use an uploader program to update the Android image.
Are we talking about loading the TC sd card in this empty slot or do I have to break open the plastic case to get at the internals?
roberts:
You should use a USB to micro sd card reader for your regular computer. Download and write image to sd card.
The instructions posted are for using a Tiny Core computer, as I don't have or use Windows.
No need to break open the mk802, just very carefully insert the micro sd card into the open slot, it should feel springy and then click into place.
Then connect cables to mk802 and finally apply power.
The Android image is not distrubed. It remains totally untouched. With sd card in slot you will boot to Core, take out the sd card and you will boot to Android.
athouston:
Beaut. Thanks again. That's the bit that had me confused.
The fact that I can't boot into TC means I haven't got the process right yet. I'm not beaten yet though.
Be well.
athouston:
WooHoo. I'm on.
The missing bit is the need to pick the "manage labels" option in gparted and mark the partition bootable.
Now I can start playing with X11 and get a GUI up.
I haven't had this much fun for 111 days (since a heart triple bypass op).
athouston:
I have come across another problem.
When I try and grow the partition size in gparted from the 8MB that the DD xx.img creates to anything else (32MB or 2048MB) I get an error. When I mount the partition gparted reports that all the new space is used but DF shows the original size.
What else can I use to expand the partition.
I have attached the fault log in case you want to look.
