dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore Armv7
Alwinner A20
beerstein:
Thank you for your quick response. I will try to scale the partition and insert an ext4 partition and just copy the current /tce over. Hope that works. Does a small swap make sense?
beerstein:
I resized sdc1 and put an ext4 partition behind the FAT32 partition. Then the importsce worked fine, but the files in sdc1 (mmcblk0p1) were not visible in dCore any more. But they showed up in USB adaptor on my PC - Strange
tinypoodle:
Any chance out of habit you expected the former tce-drive to be automounted?
beerstein:
yes I discovered that I have to mount /dev/sdc1 before I can read it. :( So i was able to edit my uEnv.txt and placed: desktop=flwm_topside at he end of that extraargs line. I also put waitusb=5 in here and learned that this is the line where I can put in tinycore boot codes - if needed.
I still have sdc1 = mmcblk0p1 formated as FAT and mmcblk0p2 as ext4. The importsce seems to work, but still no X desktop.
Question: Do I have to format mmcblk0p1 as ext2 instead of FAT32?
From the link you gave me I understand only the partition where /tce sits needs to linux file system - or??
beerstein:
It seems that the cubietruck needs a FAT (VFAT) partition to boot from. I tried ext2 and ext4 and got boot errors. Now I am back to a 50 MB FAT /dev/sdc1 partition which holds the kernel and other .bin .scr .txt files. /dev/sdc2 is now ext4 and covers the reminder of the 2GB microSD card. tce-setdrive brought /tce onto /dev/sdc2 and I was able to importsce the extensions to get an X desktop. After importing the extensions (Xprogs, flwm_topside, wbar and xorg-fbdev there were no files in /home/tc ?
I assume that after something is installed the /home/tc folder should have files and data?
The /usr/local/tce.installed folder is empty although there are extension .sce files in /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/sce
The /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/import/deb folder contains .deb and .tar.gz files.
It seems that all necessary extensions are loaded but not installed.
So something is not working here?
Just for the fun of it I installed mc (midnight commander) screen activity looked like a successful install, but I was not able to run mc from the CLI.
Here are my questions:
1. Where should I look for executable extensions? Which folder?
2. Is there something as an onboot.lst and .filetool.lst in A10 dCore?
3. How can I make a persistant /home in A10 dCore?
4. How can I istall the local extensions and make the installation persistant.
5. What is that /run folder in the file system good for?
Help please.
