Note that the booting is from an SD card in the following procedure. For eMMC booting, refer to 8.2 eMMC
Boot.
3.1
SD Card Setting
To boot from the SD card, mount a micro-SD card and extract image files to the memory on the RZ/V2M
Evaluation Kit. Here explains how to boot from the SD card.
3.1.1

Prepare for booting from SD Card
Step 1. Create partitions on SD card
Create two partitions for the SD card on Linux PC. The FAT area is set to 128MB or more, and the ext3 area
is set to the rest of the SD card capacity.
Run the following commands in red to create SD card partitions.
Note: The following descriptions of creating partitions on the SD card are based on the following assumptions. Read
them in conjunction with your environment.
•
The storage that Linux uses is only “/dev/sdb”.
•
SD card supports “/dev/sdb”.
Note that this may destroy your Linux environment.
