Boot second partition on Ariane - Jakob - 10-28-2019
Hello,
I try to run my own application (Hello.elf) inside a Linux system running on Ariane. The instantiation of Ariane and Linux was done according the description at the github page: https://github.com/pulp-platform/ariane.
According to this page https://github.com/pulp-platform/ariane-sdk/issues/25 the second partition on the SD card should be mounted at boot time, therefore, I just copied the binary into that partition. Unfortunately, I can't find the second partition.
During my search for a solution I found that Ariane repairs the GPT table of the SD card in such a way that fdisk detects the primary GPT table as corrupted, if the SD card is again inserted into my normal computer.
Below I post the output of fdisk before and after booting Linux on Ariane, as well as the part of the boot process, where the GPT is repaired.
Befor running Ariane (output at normal computer after running $ sudo sgdisk --clear --new=1:2048:67583 --new=2 --typecode=1:3000 --typecode=2:8300 /dev/sdb):
$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb

/dev/sdb2 67584 62333918 62266335 29,7G Linux filesystem
During the linux start on Ariane:

After running Ariane (output at normal computer)
$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
The primary GPT table is corrupt, but the backup appears OK, so that will be used.

Any idea why the second partition is not recognised? Or more precisely, why the GPT table gets corrupted?
Thanks,
Jakob
RE: Boot second partition on Ariane - kgf - 10-29-2019
I know this is not much of a reply, but I think the issue is more on the Linux support side, and not the Ariane HW. I am not sure someone from our group (ETH) will be able to help here, as we do not have people working on these topics.

Ok, thank you nevertheless!
