Jetson TK1 : partition disk

[ch0mik]

Hello,

Im now installing the Debian Jessie on my Jetson TK1 via Yours scripts ... its easy way than official Debian Wiki ! (https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/NVIDIA/Jetson-TK1)

I have SATA disk /dev/sda for root filesystems, but I tried with /boot/ for many times ... without boot after reboot.

http://obrazki.elektroda.pl/9951589700_1485648616.png - test with boot on SD (/dev/mmcblk1p1), I test it on first partition on eMMC (/dev/mmcblk0p1) too. What I should to do under partitioning disks ?

@ch0mik the trick is to not alter the initially created boot partition on the microSD. (you can remove the ext4 "rootfs" partition auto generated by the paritioner tool, just leave the boot partition untouched) There's a few scripts on the initial boot partition, required by the debian-installer for finalization fixes. And i have a boot.scr/uEnv.txt script in the boot partition for u-boot to know where to jump to the rootfs:

Robert,

is it mean : in partitioning disk dialog dont format existing partition mmcblk1p1 (leave as is was) and use (mount) mmcblk1p1 as /boot/ or as /boot/uboot/ ?

@ch0mik yeah, just leave the boot partition the way it's auto-configured.. it'll get added to /etc/fstab later:
