Honored ContributorI a bit curious to ask around why we have multiple tools but they are actually doing the similar task? such as the SD card ulility and the dd command both also able to update the SD card partitions. any advantage of using only linux one?
Honored Contributorthe tool for sd utility is for those you are actively in embedded commadn shell, so can speed up their time to upload the content with out share the image file to another linux computer...
Honored Contributorfor those people who love to build preloader and uboot from linux directly without using the provided bsp-editor. they should just use the dd instead... convenient... and hassle free. I think you read some of the guide that demostrade using the preloader and uboot update with the sd card alt-boot utility
Honored Contributori can see the sd card utility feature not able to flash kernel or file system
Honored ContributorHonored Contributorwhat is the command with the dd that end with bs for? some page i saw is 64k some is 1M.... any value will do?
