Thanks redhawk, that's a useful tool. I downloaded the linux equivalent to F3 here: http://fixfakeflash.wordpress.com/2010/08/20/linux-h2testw-alternative-program-called-f3-by-michel This produced the expected (by me) result: The SD card is not fake (I've had it for maybe 3 years, it was in my Chrom...

Interesting ... after 2h my dd with "conv=noerror" finished after creating an image file of 16372072448 bytes. So now I'm wandering what does dd actually do with the conv=noerror option? I guess it just read 4Gby, failed to read some 100's of MBy and then just appended most of the remaining 12GBy .....

Executive summary: Backing up my SD card using dd is failing at 4G (of a 16G card) due to card errors. I intend to do the "best" backup(s) I can and even continue using the card (cheapskate!). I'm looking for advice on the "best" (restorable!) backup methods in the case and the "best" way to contin...

Hi, for those using dd to backup your card who want to use compression, you can use bzip2 for example as described below. However, you're unlikely to achieve a much smaller image unless the unused, and used, space on your card just happens to be repeating values, mostly zeroes for example. Unfortuna...

Salut. C'est ifconfig que tu utiliseras pour voir ton adresse ip sur ethernet (iwconfig etant pour le WiFi). Il faut d'abord verifier avec ifconfig si t'as ete assigne une adresse ip ou pas - en supposant que tu utilises le dhcp. Si tu n'as pas d'adresse ip et que ton raspi est bien configure en dhc...

Merci sinseman44, je voulais justement me pencher sur buildroot pour faire un tout p'tit distro a la busybox++.

Thanks a lot, I'm now using the arm-bcm2708-linux-gnueabi tools from github and that did the trick. :D That said, I couldn't figure out how to use them, so searching around, I adapted what was written in this post: http://blog.greg-net.co.uk/post/21228054876/building-node-js-for-raspberry-pi So to b...

... and file arm.out gives:

arm.out: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.31, BuildID[sha1]=0x7f7e5a58f994614441eb2aa813f571a09c1d1b82, not stripped

I have this problem also. I'm running on a Ubuntu 12.04 and I've followed the instructions on the building a kernel page, but when I run a cross-compiled Hello World I get a Segmentation Fault. I'm compiling under Ubuntu 12.04 as: /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc -o arm3.out HelloWorld.c Running on th...
