1242402 - Producing ready to flash boot.img for RPi2

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: GonkIntegration, defect)

Description

[:gerard-majax]

Given RPi2 expects some VFAT partition with specific devices, we might need specific integration. The goal is to produce a vfat ready to dump boot.img.

Yes. For some reason this is not booting for now :/. Creating partition with gparted, copying by hand files from the $(PRODUCT_OUT)/boot/* onto it boots. So either mkdosfs call is broken or something else is going. But this is packaging issue for sure, since it's booting when copying by hand.
