    I am trying to create a bootable microsd and change some kernels. The udoo manual says there are 3 key elements for the micro sd card; Kernel, U-Boot, and file system. The kernel and U-Boot are both binaries. Is the file system supposed to be a binaries also? It downloads as tar.gz. Should I uncompress and extract to udoo-dev file?


    Any advice would be apreciated.


    Thanks,



    Luke

    The kernel and U-Boot can be downloaded both as source and binaries, it's really up to you. The Rootfs is the root partition, with programs, files etc. So its made of binaries, and yes you just uncompress it to root partition with

    Code:
    tar -xvf UDOORootfsname.tar.gz -C /pathtosdcardmountpoint
    Let me know if you need more clarifications
