Image builder question ?

[Riko Ho]

Hello everyone,
I have question related with this command in https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder :

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --img-4gb BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.X-201Y-MM-DD \
--dtb beaglebone --enable-systemd --bbb-flasher \
--bbb-old-bootloader-in-emmc

which file is being used related with ./setup_sdcard_sh ?

Does image-builder make 3 images ? as stated on beagleboard.org_image.sh  , that was why I saw 3 similar loops ?

Because in the wheezy erra, we had 3 default images..

We have 5 in the Jessie erra.. I should update that script as it's behind.

Yes, setup_sdcard can also write to the sdcard directly --mmc /dev/sdb

No, not with dd directly.. With another tool called "pv" indirectly..
Use google.com to look it up, but it's not accurate as it'll say 100%
yet, sync is still running in the background..

Recent versions of dd have 'status=progress' which does give an indication
of the transfer. It also suffers from the same problem - reporting 100%
whilst the sync is still taking place.
