Boot busy box on the SATA instead of removable USB

I installed busybox on the USB drive, however, I cannot find an option to install it on the pre-installed SATA drive on the morello board. Please let me know the process.

Thanks

Hello Rabia, Please Refer https://git.morello-project.org/morello/docs/-/blob/morello/mainline/user-guide.rst section 5.4. "Using on-board SATA drive". best regards Deepak

Hello Rabia, The SATA would be discovered on the target board . Please use AP UART console , or you could probably connect to the booted board through ssh. best regards Deepak

Hi Deepak

Can you explain step by step, how to detect SATA on AP UART terminal?

I cannot find it.

Do you mean on the ttyUSB0?

Thanks and regards

Hi Rabia,

The SATA disks are not directly exposed over the DBG USB interface.
If you want to update the SATA disk you must boot a OS first and from that OS you update the SATA disk.

My suggestion

Build the Busybox image file

Write that to a USB storage

Boot the board from that USB storage

Use the shell spawned on the UP UART to write the disk-image to the SATA device.

You do not have to use the Busybox, anything that can boot from the USB you can use.

For example you can download the Ubuntu ARM write that to usb-stick and boot the live environment (running Ubuntu directly from the stick without installing it) and from there execute step 4.

Best regards,
Patrik

How exactly should I boot OS on SATA?

Build the Busybox image file (already build)

Write that to a USB storage (already done)

Boot the board from that USB storage (when I insert USB in the board and boot it on ttyUSB2, but it can run only when USB is connected, I do not see any option of booting it on board, it starts booting automatically).

I hope it make sence now?

Thanks

Hi Rabia,

Sorry for the delay.

I am a bit unsure what you are trying to do.

If you want a boot for a USB MSD when booting you will see a (on both the HDMI and AP uart)

Press ESCAPE for boot options

If you press ESC then you cna select you USB MSD in Boot Manager.

The USB-B connector ("DBG USB") is only to debug and access the board internal UARTs. You can not send a boot image over the DBG USB.

Best regards,
Patrik
