dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > Allwinner A10
Cubieboard Install
beerstein:
good morning:
thank you for sharing that info with me. I will try o do the same asap on my cubietruck. Yesterday I used dd to write an excellent server image (CTDebian) to my sd card. You are right, I left the sd card unmounted and it worked. Using dd a few weeks ago on an unmounted sd card brought me the "no media found" error. Strange? Ok but now I know.
If you are interested, the debian server images are on the cubyboard forum. It helps to be a member there also. Please find more info here:

As far as I know it works on CB2 also.
This server is a great work and boots lightning fast into command line. I also would like to put a light gui onto that server and use it as a mini desktop. The procedure should be similar to the Core gui.

Hi again: I followed your instructions - formatted the 2GB sd card FAT16 using gparted in Linux. Then I cleaned it.
Close to the URL folder where your hawpack for cubieboard2 is located, I found a cubietruck_hwpack and used this one.
It had the folders with the same name like your in cubietruck hwpack.
/bootloader
/kernel
/rootfs
Questions: Do I have to copy these three folders including its content into my FAT16 partition? or just the script.bin?
Where do I copy the uCore. uEnv.txt and boot.scr?
My partition has no folders and just the files in it:
/boot.scr
/script.bin
/uCore
/uEnv.txt
/uImage /boot.scr
/script.bin
/uCore
/uEnv.txt
/uImage
Which one of these files must executable? Could there be a problem with ownership?
Thank you for your help

I am curious how you cleaned a NAND based card ?
beerstein:
Hi:
cubietruck has nand memory and a slot for a microsd card. I am trying to put core for A10 onto the cubietruck which is A20.
To clean a sd card Robert and Peter Pudney recommended to clean the sd card before writing on it:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/diskx bs=1m count=1
You probably thought I took it to the cleaner. Now you know. :)
coreplayer2:
Was just curious, because normally writing zero's to nand flash actually fill's the cells and severely degrades it's immediate writing performance. Writing 1's on the other hand empty's the cells
Will have to find a method which works, will get back to you on that
