I'm using Gumstix Overo-Fire. I need to replicate my systems to deploy and test my setup. Right now I have one uSD memory card which is working fine, but when I copy the whole card using either the `tar cvpf` or dd commands, the image doesn't work on any other memory card. Below is the console message when it hangs. I have tried many memory cards.
Looks like Linaro images store the memory card ID and search for them during the boot time, which will obviously fail on a different card.
Is there any way I can make my Linaro Image memory card independent.... so that my replication becomes easy..??
You could do something similar to the process we use to make pre-built images. For example, your linaro-media-create line currently is probably like:
linaro-media-create --dev overo --mmc /dev/sdb .......
You can change this to something like:
linaro-media-create --dev overo --image_file file.img --image_size 3G
This will create file.img which you could then "dd" to your SD cards.
