DART-6UL eMMC

DART-6UL - eMMC

NOTE:
Make sure you booted from sdcard with imx6ul-var-dart-sd_emmc.dtb selected

NOTE:
nand-recovery supports flashing of eMMC without the requirement of the process below. Just run android-emmc.sh on the command line.

Check that the device is up.

$ dmesg | grep mmcblk1

Output example:

mmcblk1: mmc1:0001 MMC04G 3.52 GiB 
mmcblk1boot0: mmc1:0001 MMC04G partition 1 16.0 MiB
mmcblk1boot1: mmc1:0001 MMC04G partition 2 16.0 MiB
mmcblk1rpmb: mmc1:0001 MMC04G partition 3 128 KiB
 mmcblk1: unknown partition table
 mmcblk1boot1: unknown partition table
 mmcblk1boot0: unknown partition table

Select the eMMC device number. Number will change if SD card is in.

Create partition

$ fdisk /dev/mmcblk1

Output:
<pre>
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI, OSF or GPT disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that the previous content
won't be recoverable.


The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 115456.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
