U-Boot, partition layout and flash - kap1r0t0 - 05-29-2016

Hi. I compiled Android sdk from wiki without errors, but now i dont know how flash the files to sdcard (boot.img, system.img. recovery.img)

And i compile U-Boot from longsleep, this is compatible with Android?

What is the partition layout for Android? I try this http://linux-sunxi.org/Boot_Android_from_SdCard#SD_card_Partition

Could you give me some information on how to boot android ?

I have no idea or care about Android. That's why I do Linux :-)

If you just would like to test these images, you don't have to create PhoenixCard image.
You can flash an offical image with PhoenixCard to create partitions on your SD Card.
After that you can use dd to write images.
System is in 7th partition and boot is in 6th partition.

hahaburger,

Thank you for your response. But I think that kap1r0t0 needs more help than that - I have spoken to him over the recent days and he is unsure about how to effectively create an image from the parts he compiled (boot.img, system.img. recovery.img). He is looking to find out the process of taking these and making them into a bootable image. Help would be appreciated Smile
