How to use
download (first install)
wget -O makesd "https://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-makesd.git;a=blob_plain;hb=HEAD;f=makesd"
chmod +x makesd
or
curl -L -o makesd "https://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-makesd.git;a=blob_plain;hb=HEAD;f=makesd"
chmod +x makesd
update to latest version
./makesd -u
setup your default SD card device (please double check!)
echo /dev/sdc >~root/.makesd.conf
This command assumes that the raw device of your SD card reader is /dev/sdc.
WARNING: please be careful to choose the right device or you can destroy all data on a device that you did not intend to overwrite! And note that device names might be dynamic on some systems.
If you want to override the default, prefix the makesd command by "DEV=/dev/${your-sd-reader} ./makesd". If you run it on a GTA04 device, please use "DEV=/dev/mmcblk0" (or 1) to access the built-in mmc card reader.
Note that you can't overwrite the device that was booted from. So you need to boot a GTA04 device from NAND or eMMC (if available).
run (as root)
./makesd debian-lxde
For more examples, see Examples.
available partition file systems
For a complete list, please check with Variants.
Please note that you can specify more than one variant until all 4 partitions are filled (some variants may need two partitions and must come first).

gta04 -- production image for all Letux 2804 / GTA04A2/3/4/5 boards in Openmoko Neo 1973 or Freerunner case
gta04b2 -- production image for all Letux 3704 boards
gta04b3 -- production image for all Letux 7004 boards
debian -- bootable rootfs partition with debian (no GUI)
debian-lxde -- bootable rootfs partition with debian and LXDE
