Uploading an image from partition layout: /dev/mmcblk0

[d4rk3]

And if anyone has any knowledge to shed, please, feel free to chime in

[Tom Elliott]

The knowledge I have has been passed. It sounds like we “have” all the stuff you need in place. Now if only I could get it to recognize the mmcblk as /dev/sd{x}?

[d4rk3]

We’ll get it eventually. I wanna thank you again for all of your help, Tom.

After more research, the problem lies within the Replay Protected Memory Block (/dev/mmcblk0rpmb). Now I just need to figure out what needs to be added to the kernel to fix this.

Bump!

Are you seeing the same errors as specified in this patch?

I’m going to attempt building a kernel with the supplied patch, but there’s no guarantee this is going to fix your particular issue.

FOG Defaults to search for /dev/sd{a-z} or /dev/hd{a-z}.

It does not search out mmcblk devices.

I created 3.17.1 kernels with the patch in the link you provided above.

The kernels can be found at:

Thanks so much, Tom! I’ll get back to you once I test the new kernel.

[d4rk3]

No dice

[d4rk3]

Bump because I have nothing to lose

[Tom Elliott]

Have you tried with the latest svn?

I’m attempting to not assume device letters and such and hoping that this may help.

[d4rk3]

Update:

I’m on SVN 3504 and just deployed a debug task to see if fdisk would show anything this time around…and it does!

The problem is, the screen fills up and I can only see the last disks which are all /dev/ram*.

How can I slow down the list or scroll up?

[Tom Elliott]

fdisk -l | more

Thanks Tom

Every disk looks like this (/dev/ram0 - /dev/ram15)

Kind of disappointing because the mmcblk0rpmb is still blocking me from seeing the mmc partitions.

If anyone has any ideas I’m all ears

[d4rk3]

Side note…I set the primary disk to /dev/ram0 with a raw DD image and it uploaded lol…

@d4rk3 I’m thinking that the correct one will not be any of the “ram” ones.

You’ve tried these?
/dev/mmcblk0
/dev/loop0

Unfortunately, yes. I’ve tried everything from my partition table on my OP.

However, fdisk actually being able to see anything is progress. Tomorrow I’ll try some different kernels, maybe I’ll luck out…

@d4rk3 have you found this yet? https://linuxnorth.wordpress.com/2014/08/23/installing-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/

this: https://linuxnorth.wordpress.com/2014/08/23/installing-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/

and especially this: https://linuxnorth.wordpress.com/2014/12/12/replacing-the-kernel/’

It seems like a gold mine of relevant information…

But before you go doing all that jazz, I’d for real try Tom’s 3.18 kernels (and others) first.
