[Gta04-owner] QtMoko reloaded

[Sven Dyroff]

Hello Nikolaus,

> So I'd suggest that you just make a fresh qtmoko+kernel SD card with 
makesd, but without u-boot:

> This does not tamper with the boot-loader but adds the latest kernel for 
qtmoko2.

if there's something that you'll learn very soon in IT, then the fact that 
everything will take much more longer than expected...

For me your one simple makesd-line resulted in the following:

1.) Assumed that my some years old makesd is completely outdated. So 
searched for a current one and found:

    http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-makesd/

Thus did the folowing actions:

    wget -O makesd "
http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-makesd.git;a=blob_plain;hb=HEAD;f=makesd
"
    chmod a+x makesd
    ./makesd -u

Success! Ok, that was easy.

2.) Clean the SD card with the v55 clone completely:

    sudo dd of=/dev/sdg if=/dev/zero bs=1M conv=fsync

After that all the partitions have been gone. Again easy success.

3.) Execute your suggestion:

    DEV=/dev/sdg makesd qtmoko -r 
http://download.goldelico.com/letux-debian-rootfs/20180224-wheezy-7.11-armhf-qtmoko.tbz

Result: "Command makesd not found".

Ok, that's understandable. So modify your suggestion to:

    DEV=/dev/sdg ./makesd qtmoko -r 
http://download.goldelico.com/letux-debian-rootfs/20180224-wheezy-7.11-armhf-qtmoko.tbz

Result:

    unknown option: -r 
http://download.goldelico.com/letux-debian-rootfs/20180224-wheezy-7.11-armhf-qtmoko.tbz
    useage:    ...
    ...
    root file system (OS):
        -r <url>
        ...
        -r qtmoko
        ...
    macros for single partition cards:
        ...
        qtmoko = -f ext4 -r qtmoko -d all -k latest (does not need config)
        ...

Please advice ...    ;-)

Best regards
   Sven
