Loading the compiled rootfs #1

Hi

I cloned, built and dd to sd, but not working. A few questions. The rootfs, does it contain the kernel? Do i need another partition? The shipped sd has two, but I did not want to destroy the shipped one, so just dd to new sd (that does not boot)

So what else do I need, and how do I load cores and games?

Hi, sorry for late response. No, rootfs does not contain kernel. It should be in different partition, at least in case of my gamestick. In SEGAM-M8-V5.0 V1.0.0 stick that I have there are 5 partitions - uboot, boot, kernel, rootfs, exfat. Unlikely rootfs from one gamestick will be compatible with different revisions of sticks.
