Booting the Intel Galileo

Hi!

Since there is no category about playing/working with the Intel embedded boards, I post my question here.

I want to run Node.js on an Intel Galileo but I get stuck building the SD Card. I am trying to follow the different manuals.

  1. I formatted the SD card with an FAT32 filesystem. But booting that one was not working.

  2. Formatting the card with an ext3 filesystem made the content readable, but the SD Card was neither bootable.

All I see is the boot menu which looks like below. Then the SPI Flash is booted again.

GNU GRUB version 0.97 (604K lower / 244604K upper memory)

Use the ^ and v keys to select which entry is highlighted.

Press enter to boot the selected OS, ‘e’ to edit the

commands before booting, ‘a’ to modify the kernel arguments

before booting, or ‘c’ for a command-line.

Error 5: Partition table invalid or corrupt

now the sd card works with this command:

$ sudo dd if=iot-devkit-latest-mmcblkp0.direct of=/dev/disk1 bs=4m
