(Optional) Creating Drive Partitions
You can refer to this section to create drive partitions in the following scenarios when deploying application software:
- If the Atlas 500 AI edge station has an external storage device, you need to create drive partitions on the external storage device.
- Create multiple user partitions on an embedded multimedia card (eMMC).
- Frequent data erase and write operations on the eMMC reduce the eMMC service life and cause system exceptions. You are advised to use non-eMMC devices, such as SD cards, M.2 drives, HDDs, and USB drives, to create partitions.
- In the initial state of the Atlas 500 AI edge station, the eMMC drive has nine partitions. The partitions mmcblk0p1 to mmcblk0p8 are system partitions and cannot be used by users. The mmcblk0p9 partition is a user partition and can be directly used by users.
- If you need to use the eMMC drive to create multiple partitions, delete the mmcblk0p9 partition and then partition the drive as required.
Procedure
- Choose Management > Drive > Local Drive Management.Figure 5-52 Local Drive Management
- In the drive list, click Create Partition in the Operation column of the drive. The Create Partition dialog box is displayed.Figure 5-53 Create Partition
- Set the parameters for creating partitions.Table 5-12 Parameters for creating partitions
