APF6 eMMC layout

By default, the 4GB eMMC on APF6 board has 4 physical/hardware partitions:

Boot0 Boot1 RPMB User Data


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

Boot0 partition layout

. SPL IMG ... ENV1 ... ENV2 ...
  • Linux device: /dev/mmcblk2boot0

User Data partition layout

There are two primary partitions on the "User Data" physical partition:

... Boot Rootfs


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 :-) )
... NA NA 512 1 ~1 MBytes (2047 blocks) Free
Boot mmc 0:1 /dev/mmcblk2p1 1M (0x100000) 2048 (0x800) 48 MBytes (98304 blocks) The kernel and the device tree (inside a dtbs/ directory) are on this partition (ext4 formatted)
Rootfs mmc 0:2 /dev/mmcblk2p2 49M (0x3100000) 100352 (0x18800) Rest of space (< 7632896 blocks) the rootfs 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/mmcblk2p1        # for Boot
# resize2fs /dev/mmcblk2p2        # 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.
