About this Article
we may want to backup our SD bootable OS which have installed many application software. We can make SD Bootable OS into a SD card image.here is guide for you.This guide is for Linux platform only.
$sudo umount /media/*$sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt $sudo tar -cp * |sudo gzip -9 > ~/bootfs.tar.gz$sudo umount /mnt
$sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt $sudo tar -cp * |sudo gzip -9 > ~/rootfs.tar.gz
$ mkdir WORK_DIR$cd $WORK_DIR //creating empty image , this space is 2.5G,you can change by yourself$sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=disk.img count=5000000 //associating /dev/loop0 with the image$sudo losetup /dev/loop0 disk.img $sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/loop0 bs=1k count=1024 $sudo dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/loop0 bs=1024 seek=8 //write uboot in image
$sudo fdisk /dev/loop0
Using the fdisk command to create 2 partitions on the SD Card, e.g.
Show bellow
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System/dev/loop0p1 2048 133119 65536 83 Linux/dev/loop0p2 133120 4999999 2433440 83 Linu
Also we recommend you to look at Bootable_SD_card
$cd $WORK_DIRassociateing /dev/loop0 with image again $sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0 && sudo losetup /dev/loop0 disk.img //associateing /dev/loop1 with the first partition of /dev/loop0,1048576=512*2048) $sudo losetup -o 1048576 /dev/loop1 /dev/loop0 //format the first partition$sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/loop1 //format the second partitions$sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/loop2 $sudo mount /dev/loop1 /mnt //decompressing bootfs.tar.gz to the first partition$sudo tar -zxvf ~/bootfs.tar.gz -C /mnt $sudo umount /mnt$sudo mount /dev/loop2 /mnt //decompressing rootfs.tar.gz to second partition$sudo tar -zxvf ~/rootfs.tar.gz -C /mnt $sync && umount /mnt//cancel associating$losetup -d /dev/loop2 //cancel associating$losetup -d /dev/loop1 //cancel associating$losetup -d /dev/loop0
