Create an EXT4 partition on a micro SD-card using fdisk and set the MBR

For example, if the micro SD-card is /dev/sdg:
Type the commands where you got “Command(m for help):” as below.

$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdg
 Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.27.1).
 Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
 Be careful before using the write command.
 Command (m for help): o
 Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x96e5850d.
 Command (m for help): n
 Partition type
 p primary (0 primary, 0 extended, 4 free)
 e extended (container for logical partitions)
 Select (default p):
 Using default response p.
 Partition number (1-4, default 1):
 First sector (2048-31291391, default 2048):
 Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G,T,P} (2048-31291391, default 31291391):
 Created a new partition 1 of type 'Linux' and of size 14,9 GiB.
 Command (m for help): w
 The partition table has been altered.
 Calling ioctl() to

Format the micro SD-card

Initialize the ext4 partition using “mke2fs”; for example, if the micro SD-card is associated with /dev/sdg1:
Confirm whether the command is success or not. If you get “done” like following, the command is successful.

$ sudo mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/sdg1
 --snip--
 Allocating group tables: done                            
 Writing inode tables: done                             
 Creating journal (32768 blocks): done
 Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

Extract Emotion Engine SDK

export directory path of micro SD-card

$ SDCARD=<define your sd card directory>

mount your SD to your rootfs

$ mount /dev/sdg1 $SDCARD

remove all data in SDCARD

$ sudo rm -rf ${SDCARD:-bad_dir}/*

Extract the file to $SDCARD

• For h3ulcb

$ sudo tar xf emotion-sdk-h3ulcb-agl-5.0.3-chromium-m67.tar.xz -C $SDCARD;sync

• For m3ulcb

$ sudo tar xf emotion-sdk-m3ulcb-agl-5.0.3-chromium-m67.tar.xz -C $SDCARD;sync

Write IPL to Target

See below to write IPL.

Setting U-boot parameters

1. Insert the micro SD-card to the target board. And Boot up.
   
2. Stop auto boot hitting any key.
   
3. set u-boot environment variable.

• For h3ulcb

Control emotion.service

Looking at the service status

# systemctl status emotion

Stopping the service

# systemctl stop emotion

Starting the service

# systemctl start emotion

Restarting the service

# systemctl restart emotion

Looking at the latest service log

# journalctl -xe
