OPOS6UL eMMC layout

By default, the 4GB eMMC on OPOS6UL module has 4 physical/hardware partitions:

Boot0 Boot1 RPMB User Data


Name U-Boot name Size Comment
boot0 mmc dev 0 1 4MBytes U-Boot is installed on this partition
boot1 mmc dev 0 2 4MBytes Not used
rpmb mmc dev 0 3 512KBytes Not used
User Data mmc dev 0 0 remaining space (~3,7GBytes) Kernel, device tree and rootfs

Boot0 partition layout

. SPL IMG ... ENV1 ... ENV2 ...

User Data partition layout

There are 3 partitions on the "User Data" physical partition:

... Failsafe (primary) Rootfs (logical) Home/Data (logical)


Name U-Boot device Linux device Offset (bytes) Offset (blocks) Size Comment
MBR NA NA 0 0 512 bytes (1 block) Master Boot Record. (Don't touch it :-) )
Failsafe mmc 0:1 /dev/mmcblk0p1 2k (0x800) 4 64MBytes system to restore your board in case of problem
Rootfs mmc 0:5 /dev/mmcblk0p5 135168 (0x21000) 2GBytes the rootfs is on this partition (ext4 formatted)
Home/Data mmc 0:6 /dev/mmcblk0p6 4331520 (0x421800) Rest of space (~1,6GBytes) HOME is on this partition (ext4 formatted)
  • By default, when flashed from U-Boot, rootfs and boot are only occupying the size of the .ext4 images used during flashing. If you want to increase the rootfs/boot size to all available free space then, after Linux has booted, use the following commands:
# resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p5        # for Rootfs
  • Or with apf-config command
# apf-config
  • in menu:
|     1 Expand Filesystem(s)         OS can then use all eMMC/SD space         |


Rootfs/Boot will then be extended to all the "Rootfs"/"Boot" eMMC partitions space.
