Getting started with the Aria G25

prepare sd-card

partition table should look like this

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *        2048       65535       31744   16  Hidden FAT16

/dev/sda3        13737984    15523839      892928   82  Linux swap / Solaris

ext4 parameters (/etc/mke2fs.conf)

	ext4 = {
		features = has_journal,flex_bg,uninit_bg,dir_nlink
		auto_64-bit_support = 0
	}
