Working with SD/MMC Card Image

Working with SD/MMC Card image

Note : The DVSDK currently supports 2GB image.

Download the DVSDK SD Card image(sdimage_dvsdk_#_##_##_##.tar.gz) to your linux machine. Untar the file using the below commands.

host $ tar -xvzf sdimage_dvsdk_#_##_##_##.tar.gz

Format the SD Card to which you want to flash using hp utility.Download the utility from here. Once you have untarred the image you have to write the contents to The SD Card. Please follow below procedure for copying contents to SD Card.

host $ dd bs=4096 if=sdimage_dvsdk_#_##_##_##.img of=/dev/<sd drive> (where <sd drive> is the path where SD card is mounted.Please change this accordingly.)

Once you have written the contents to SD card you can use MMC boot settings(SW4 setting 1-on 2 -on 3- on and rest off) to boot and run the demos.

Switching From LCD to DVI

For switching between LCD and DVI you will have to replace the boot.scr file accordingly. For example for switching to DVI output download the boot_dvi.scr file and rename it as boot.scr and replace it with the boot.scr file present in the SD Card image.

NOTE:The MLO file when downloaded gets saved as MLO.txt. Rename it to MLO before copying to SD Card.
