Creating a Linux bootable SD Card in VirtualBox
Posted: 22. Jun 2021, 17:05
Good morning, this is a general question but first let me lay out what I'm doing. First I'm using Windows 10 with VirtualBox ver 6.1.22. I am running a Ubuntu 64 bit updated to the latest and greatest version. Now, I'm trying to create a SD Card to boot a Variscite SOM module and they provide a step by step detail instruction. I build all my packages and when trying to create the bootable SD Card, I get an error that I can't write the SD Card because it's not a removable disk. So to get the SD Card to work, I created a sdcard.vmdk using rawdisk
. I also found a post about using "--usbcardreader on" instead of rawdisk but my Linux installation would not boot until I turned it back off.
So two part question, is there a better way to access a SD Card then the sdcard.vmdk? Any suggestions or work around to get Linux to flash/program on the SD Card if there isn't a better way to access. I can send screenshots of the error and t.he process if needed but not a lot of information is given.
Thank you in advance for any and all assistance.
