9 Root File System Boot from S-ATA ® Drive
The S-ATA ® part (mSATA ® or standard S-ATA ® connector) offers the fastest board interface. This is the only
way of achieving transfer rates about 150 MB/s, normally only with SSD drives. The kernel does not
automatically mount the drive therefore you have to modify the configuration file
etc/fstab (per default
this file is empty). The example uses a freely chosen drive identifier (sda1) and target directory.
# UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM
/dev/sda1 /media/sata ext4 defaults 0 1
After update you should create the new directory /media/sata . But this method has a serious disadvantage:
if you remove the drive the kernel stops with an error message.
Furthermore the U-Boot environment needs an additional modification:
spiboot =setenv root_bootargs root=/dev/sda1 rw rootwait;run setbootarg;sf probe 0 && sf read ${loadaddr}
0xE2000 0x31E000 && bootm ${loadaddr}
