-Notice: U-Boot as shipped on the board has a bug reading rev 0 ext2
-file systems (which is what genext2fs generates). To convert it to rev
-1, do:
-
-tune2fs -O filetype output/images/rootfs.ext2
-e2fsck -a output/images/rootfs.ext2
-
 To install, simply extract rootfs.ext2 to first partition of a uSD card:
 
 sudo dd if=output/images/rootfs.ext2 of=/dev/sdX1
