Cleaning SD Card
==================

$ card=/dev/sdb
$
$
$ echo $card
/dev/sdb
$
$
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=${card} bs=1024 seek=544 count=128
128+0 records in
128+0 records out
131072 bytes (131 kB) copied, 0.0847697 s, 1.5 MB/s
$
3)
Make Bootable SD Card
=======================
$
$ ls
bootfs-part1.tar.gz  doc.txt  doc.txt~  rootfs-part2.tar.gz  u-boot-sunxi-with-spl-ct-20131102.bin
$
$
$sudo dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl-ct-20131102.bin of=$card bs=1024 seek=8
254+1 records in
254+1 records out
260260 bytes (260 kB) copied, 0.0836902 s, 3.1 MB/s
$
$

4)
Partitioning
==============
$
$sudo fdisk $card
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xdc9d3115.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.

Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)

The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument.
The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at
the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)
