GPT : Some of the partitions on the eMMC device is not listed out

Hi,

Working on Jetson k1 board, with L4T software.

Could you please let me know, why all the partitions on the eMMC device is not listed out in u-boot cmd prompt and Linux command prompt?

Using the following gnu_linux_fastboot_emmc_full.cfg file, which is modified

I don’t know why one partition item or another does or doesn’t appear, but the method for being certain to list all partitions is to clone the partition table. Here’s the clone article:
[url]http://elinux.org/Jetson/Cloning[/url]

Here’s the partition table clone section:
[url]Jetson/Cloning - eLinux.org

FYI, unlike cloning rootfs or the entire Jetson, cloning the table is quite fast. Just remember that each time you clone you must reboot Jetson to recovery mode again…you can’t clone the table and then rootfs without reboot between clones.

Thank you very much.
