I downloaded the debian 7.9 console image (bone-debian-7.9-console-armhf-2015-11-03-2gb.img) and wrote it to a micro sd card using dd:
dd bs=4M if=bone-debian-7.9-console-armhf-2015-11-03-2gb.img of=/dev/sdb I notice that after flashing, the sdb1 partition on the card begins at sector 2048. The original formatting of these cards have the data area beginning at sector 8192 and other sd card images that I've written (e.g. Raspbian Jessie) also start at sector 8192. I was under the impression that this was done to reduce the number of pages that have to be rewritten when data is saved to the card. Am I wrong about that? Is there a reason why this debian image starts at 2048? Is there a way to control where the image is written to the sd card? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
