1. After install the self-install image by etcher, can I see a boot.ini file on eMMC or SD card that is connected to the host PC?
- No, you have to do normal booting the android at least one time. At first booting, self-install image make partitions, boot.ini files and etc.
2. Else, after normal self install procedure, can I see the boot.ini file on the host PC?
- Yes. you can see the boot.ini file after the self-install procedure.
3. Or, After running the ODROID-UTILITY / ODROID-Settings (N2/N2L/C4 only) App and modify some configurations, the boot.ini file is generated?
- Sometimes, partition has the boot.ini and env.ini (N2/N2L/C4 only) file can be corrupted. So you can check by running the ODROID-Utility or ODROID-Settings App. when the partition is corrupted, please format the partition by using the settings's storage feature or by PC. and the boot.ini and env.ini (N2/N2L/C4 only) file will be made automatically.
