how to mount sabre lite microSD on host pc, or how to get original image

Former Member over 13 years ago

Hello everyone,

I would like to get the default image of the microSD card that comes with the development board sabre-lite.

Is there some place I can download it from?

Also, how can I mount this microSD card in a linux host?

Thank you in advance for your help!

There's absolutely nothing worthwhile on it. The supplied card is basically a slide flipper with three or four slides touting the timesys linux link pro stuff. It uses busybox and has so much missing that you can barely run 'ls'. Think of it as simply a demo or an advert, wipe the card and start fresh.

However, you can just mount it like any other linux filesystem and copy the stuff off. It doesn't seem to be downloadable from anywhere I could find though.

I see there's an Android image been posted here recently though. Possibly there's something more useful there.

There's an Arch image turned up over at http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/nitrogen6x while it's for boundarys other board it does boot and run on the Sabre Lite and could be a better starting point. See my other post for some info.
