make sd card image failed

[CAlex]

Hi

I put the u-boot-spl in -P 2A and bin-image.bin in FAT32(sdfsys/*) trying to get a baremetal system.

And sudo python3 ./make_sd_image.py failed.

Error:

Hi

I have tried out the SD Files that you shared and there was no error seen.

The only changes i made was created a few dummy files in the rootfs folder and run the command.

The below is the result I got.

What python version that you are using? The version I am using is 3.8.10

Regards

Hi

It returns the same error message,

I'll try to use the same python version as you did.

[CAlex]

Hi 

I can't get the python3.8 through apt.

Is there other ways to get that version?

Hi

Could you share with me the files in your "BM_bin/*" folder?

Or you could try the one in the sd card that you shared.

HI

file atached 

Thank you for your help

[JingyangTeh]

Hi

Weird thing I am able to create the sd card image without any problem on my end.

Could you try installing all the tools on your system with the command below:

sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo \

gcc-multilib build-essential chrpath socat cpio python python3 \

python3-pip python3-pexpect xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping \

python3-git python3-jinja2 libegl1-mesa libsdl1.2-dev pylint3 xterm \

libncurses-dev gawk flex bison openssl libssl-dev

Hi

I found the issue:

change from ``mkfs.fat -F 32  ``to`` mkfs.fat -F32``    in make_sdimage_p3.py

from rocketboards <boot from Stratix10>

But <boot from CycloneV and A10> didn't update it.
