INTRODUCTION

ATTENTION: We do recommend deploying production Embedded Linux systems by building customised Anstrom/OpenEmbedded/Yocto Project images as outlined in the following article on our developer website: Build a Reference Image with Yocto Project

.

DEPRECATION NOTE

When developing modern software, one should use VCS such as Git, among other best practices. Toradex strongly recommends that you develop

your system either:

* Using Yocto, if you are based on our Toradex BSP Layers and Reference Images for Yocto Project

.

* Using Torizon tooling, if you are based on TorizonCore

.

Therefore we do not support cloning the content from the module's internal flash memory, such as eMMC. __ __ Click here to see the obsolete/deprecated instructions from older versions of our BSP This article describes how to easily clone the Embedded Linux BSP installation of an eMMC based Toradex module onto similar modules. For the BACKUP operation U-Boot's built-in USB mass storage (UMS)

feature is used.

For the RESTORE operation there are 3 main possibilities: * A) Direct restoring using UMS again * B) Integration into the legacy update package * C) Integration into the Toradex Easy Installer package (preferred

if available).

NOTE: This article does not describe cloning the boot loader. It is recommended to separately deploy resp. desired boot loader either using our legacy update procedure (e.g. run setupdate; run update_uboot) or the Toradex Easy Installer (e.g. using a custom JSON containing just the boot loader) prior to proceeding (Preferred if available). Also, remember to port any U-Boot environment changes if there should be any. Please note that in below-given commands

user

may have to be replaced by your resp. user as logged into your Linux

workstation.

ATTENTION: this article has NOT been validated against BSPs 3 and 5. You may TRY to follow the steps from the previous BSP versions, but some commands were reported as not working.

* BSP 2.8

* BSP 2.7 and older

Sometimes you want to create a Toradex Easy Installer image from an existing installation. The easiest way of doing this on boards with eMMC storage is the following.

1. ROOTFS

Insert an SD Card or USB Stick and mount it mount /dev/ /mnt Mount the root partition to a clean mount point

mkdir /tmp/rootfs

mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /tmp/rootfs

cd /tmp/rootfs

tar -czf /mnt/my-rootfs.tar.gz . Unmount the root partition and the SD or USB-Stick

cd

umount /tmp/rootfs

umount /mnt

Download the original Toardex Easy Installer image from our website:

Linux Software

Now you can copy my-rootfs.tar.gz to the directory where you untared the original image. In the file image.json you have to replace _"image name"_.rootfs.tar.xz with my-rootfs.tar.gz

2. BOOTFS

Insert an SD Card or USB Stick and mount it mount /dev/ /mnt Mount the root partition to a clean mount point

mkdir /tmp/bootfs

mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /tmp/bootfs

cd /tmp/rootfs

tar -czf /mnt/my-bootfs.tar.gz . Unmount the root partition and the SD or USB-Stick

cd

umount /tmp/bootfs

umount /mnt

Download the original Toardex Easy Installer image from our website:

Linux Software

Now you can copy my-bootfs.tar.gz to the directory where you untared the original image. In the file image.json you have to replace _"image name"_.bootfs.tar.xz with my-bootfs.tar.gz

3. FLASH FROM TEZI

To flash the newly created image from TEZI you can follow the Toradex

Easy Installer

article.

1. BACKUP

1.1 ACTIVATE UMS FEATURE Enter the U-Boot console and activate the UMS feature on resp. eMMC

block device:

Apalis TK1 # ums 0 mmc 0 UMS: LUN 0, dev 0, hwpart 0, sector 0x0, count 0x1d5a000

/

1.2 CONNECT USB DEVICE Connect the target's USB device interface to your Linux workstation and check which block device or mounted file system it refers to: $ dmesg | tail -n 18 usb 1-3.4.2.1: new high-speed USB device number 18 using xhci_hcd usb 1-3.4.2.1: New USB device found, idVendor=1b67, idProduct=4022 usb 1-3.4.2.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-3.4.2.1: Product: USB download gadget usb 1-3.4.2.1: Manufacturer: Toradex usb-storage 1-3.4.2.1:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected scsi host4: usb-storage 1-3.4.2.1:1.0 scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access Linux UMS disk 0 ffff PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0 sd 4:0:0:0: 30777344 512-byte logical blocks: (15.8 GB/14.7 GiB) sd 4:0:0:0: Write Protect is off sd 4:0:0:0: Mode Sense: 0f 00 00 00 sd 4:0:0:0: Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA

sdb: sdb1 sdb2

sd 4:0:0:0: Attached SCSI removable disk FAT-fs (sdb1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck. EXT4-fs (sdb2): mounting ext3 file system using the ext4 subsystem EXT4-fs (sdb2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) $ lsblk | grep -E 'boot|rootfs' ├─sdb1 8:17 1 16M 0 part /run/media/user/boot └─sdb2 8:18 1 14.6G 0 part /run/media/user/rootfs 1.3 BACKUP FILE SYSTEMS Backup resp. file systems intended to clone: $ tar cJvf bootfs.tar.xz -C /run/media/user/boot .

./

./uImage

./tegra124-apalis-eval.dtb ./tegra124-apalis-v1.2-eval.dtb $ sudo tar cJf rootfs.tar.xz -C /run/media/user/rootfs . This will take a while... NOTE: Running tar as superuser is crucial to make sure all files can be accessed and user/group IDs are properly archived in the tar file. If the particular OS you are backing up is making use of any extended file attributes those would additionally need to be specified for

preservation by

tar

(e.g. using

--acls

,

--selinux

and/or

--xattrs

).

1.4 UNMOUNT FILE SYSTEMS Unmount boot and rootfs on your Linux workstation and stop aka CTRL+C

U-Boot's UMS:

$ sudo umount /run/media/user/boot $ sudo umount /run/media/user/rootfs Apalis TK1 # ums 0 mmc 0 UMS: LUN 0, dev 0, hwpart 0, sector 0x0, count 0x1d5a000 CTRL+C - Operation aborted

2. RESTORE

For restore there are 3 main possibilities: A) Direct restore using UMS again; B) Integrate into legacy update package; or C) Integrate into Toradex Easy Installer package (Preferred if available). A) 2.1 CLEAR FILE SYSTEMS Using a module with similar BSP already installed (e.g. not running Toradex Easy Installer refer to C) below otherwise) perform steps 1 and 2 from above, then first clear out resp. file systems: $ rm /run/media/user/boot/* $ sudo rm -rf /run/media/user/rootfs/* A) 2.2 RESTORE FILE SYSTEMS Now proceed to restoring from previous tar files: $ tar xJvf bootfs.tar.xz -C /run/media/user/boot

./

./uImage

./tegra124-apalis-eval.dtb ./tegra124-apalis-v1.2-eval.dtb $ sudo tar xJf rootfs.tar.xz -C /run/media/user/rootfs A) 2.3 UNMOUNT FILE SYSTEMS Now don't forget to unmount resp. file systems and stop UMS as in step 4 above. After a target reset your cloned BSP should be booting. B) 2.1 INTEGRATE ARTEFACTS Integrate above backed-up artefacts into our regular legacy update

package:

$ tar xjf ~/Downloads/Apalis-TK1_LXDE-Image_2.7b4-20171007.tar.bz2 $ cd Apalis-TK1_LXDE-Image_2.7.4/ tar xJvf ~/bootfs.tar.xz

./uImage

./tegra124-apalis-eval.dtb ./tegra124-apalis-v1.2-eval.dtb sudo cp uImage apalis-tk1_bin/uImage sudo cp tegra124-apalis-eval.dtb apalis-tk1_bin/uImage-tegra124-apalis-eval.dtb sudo cp tegra124-apalis-v1.2-eval.dtb apalis-tk1_bin/uImage-tegra124-apalis-v1.2-eval.dtb rm uImage tegra124-apalis-eval.dtb tegra124-apalis-v1.2-eval.dtb

cd rootfs

sudo mv lib/modules ..

sudo rm -rf *

sudo tar xJf ~/rootfs.tar.xz

sudo mv ../lib .

B) 2.2 GENERATE UPDATE MEDIA Now one can proceed in generating the desired update media (e.g. SD card or USB memory stick resp. download folder of TFTP server) just as

used to:

$ ./update.sh -o /run/media/user/sdb1/

B) 2.3 UPDATE

Now proceed with the update as before e.g. from within the U-Boot

console:

Apalis TK1 # run setupdate; run update B) 2.4 RESET AND BOOT After the automatic target reset your cloned BSP should be booting. C) 2.1 INTEGRATE ARTEFACTS Integrate above backed-up artefacts into our regular Toradex Easy

Installer package:

$ tar xf ~/Downloads/Apalis-TK1_LXDE-Image-Tezi_2.7b5-20171201.tar $ cd Apalis-TK1_LXDE-Image-Tezi_2.7b5/ $ rm Apalis-TK1_LXDE-Image.bootfs.tar.xz $ rm Apalis-TK1_LXDE-Image.rootfs.tar.xz $ cp ~/bootfs.tar.xz Apalis-TK1_LXDE-Image.bootfs.tar.xz $ cp ~/rootfs.tar.xz Apalis-TK1_LXDE-Image.rootfs.tar.xz C) 2.2 ADJUST IMAGE.JSON

Now adjust the

image.json

to your liking (e.g. change at least the name and description for you to be able to distinguish it from our regular package). You should also update the nominal and un-compressed (partition) sizes accordingly. You may of course also change any of the other properties as documented in the Toradex Easy Installer article on our developer website. C) 2.3 USE TORADEX EASY INSTALLER You may now use above prepared Toradex Easy Installer package with the Toradex Easy Installer

.
