How to format SD card via adb shell in android



do the following.

adb shell
# newfs_msdos �F 32 /dev/block/mmcblk0


newfs_msdos
usage: newfs_msdos [ -options ] special [disktype]
where the options are:
        -@ create file system at specified offset
        -B get bootstrap from file
        -C create image file with specified size
        -F FAT type (12, 16, or 32)
        -I volume ID
        -L volume label
        -N don't create file system: just print out parameters
        -O OEM string
        -S bytes/sector
        -a sectors/FAT
        -b block size
        -c sectors/cluster
        -e root directory entries
        -f standard format
        -h drive heads
        -i file system info sector
        -k backup boot sector
        -m media descriptor
        -n number of FATs
        -o hidden sectors
        -r reserved sectors
        -s file system size (sectors)
        -u sectors/track

Daisy-chain on primary JTAG, USB Trace32 for qualcomm msm7x27

Daisy-chain on primary JTAG, USBTrace32
11 To use a daisy-chain JTAG configuration and a USB connection to the debugger, perform the
12 steps described in this section. This configuration has not been extensively tested with
13 AMSS 76xx, and is provided for reference only.
14 1. Copy the following files from the release products\76XX\tools\T32 directory to C:\T32:
15
16 config-chain-arm9-usb.t32
17 config-chain-arm11-usb.t32
18 startup-chain-arm11.cmm
19 startup-chain-arm9.cmm
20
21 2. Create a shortcut to start the ARM9 Trace32 session with the following properties:
22
23 Name: Trace32 ARM9 USB Daisy-Chain
24 Target: C:\T32\t32marm.exe -c config-chain-arm9-usb.t32, startup-chain-arm9.cmm
25 Start in: C:\T32
26
27 Note that there is a comma between the configuration filename and the startup filename, but
28 no comma between the startup filename and the debugger name.
29 3. Create a shortcut to start the ARM11 Trace32 session with the following properties:
30
31 Name: Trace32 ARM11 USB Daisy-Chain
32 Target: C:\T32\t32marm.exe -c config-chain-arm11-usb.t32, startup-chain-arm11.cmm
33 Start in: C:\T32
34
35 4. Start the ARM9 Trace32 session by opening the Trace32 ARM9 USB Daisy-Chain shortcut.
36 5. Start the ARM11 session by opening the Trace32 ARM11 USB Daisy-Chain shortcut.
5.4.5 AMSS Trace32 scripts
2 This section describes how to use the AMSS Trace32 development scripts. Unless otherwise
3 mentioned, all scripts are located in the <root>\AMSS\products\76XX\build\ms directory.
4 5.4.5.1 JTAG load
5 Steps to program the Flash and load build on the SURF or FFA with Trace32 are:
6 1. Start the ARM9 Trace32 session. Start the ARM11 Trace32 session if you want to load the
7 ARM11 image.
8 2. Run dev_mjnload_android.cmm from the ARM9 and select the modem ELF. It will prompt
9 for the apps product directory; select LINUX/android/vendor/qcom/msm7627_surf. It will
10 then prompt for vmlinux; select it by going through out/target/product/msm7627_surf/obj/
11 KERNEL_OBJ. Wait for ARM9 image loading to complete.
12 3. If the ARM11 Trace32 session is running, then the ARM11 loading process will begin.
NOTE It may be necessary to hold down the FB key after the ARM11 loads the boot image, to prevent
the bootloader from attempting to boot into the kernel. This will result in system image flashing
errors.
13 4. Wait for the ARM9 to stop at the soft_breakpoints_enabled breakpoint. Execute "do sync",
14 then "go". ARM9 and ARM11 kernel symbols will be loaded.
15 􀂈 To individually load the modem symbols, use the m_jload_dev_flash.cmm script.
16 􀂈 To individually load kernel symbols, load vmlinux with d.load.elf.
17 Android user space debugging may only be performed using Eclipse/ADB.
18 It is only necessary to run dev_mjnload_android.cmm when the Flash must be programmed. If
19 you have already run one of these scripts to load your build into the Flash, then you can use
20 jload.cmm to only reload the symbols, or reset.cmm to reset without reloading the symbols. Both
21 scripts are described in later sections.
22
NOTE If you rebuild, then you must run dev_mjnload_android.cmm to load the new build into the
Flash.
23
24 If you wish to debug the L4 kernel, then run the debug_kernel.cmm script. This will cause the
25 jload process to stop the ARM9 and ARM11 processors at the kernel entry point, instead of at the
26 soft_breakpoints_enabled breakpoint. At the kernel entry, the MMU is disabled, so software
27 breakpoints cannot be used. On-chip hardware breakpoints must be set instead. Note that there are
28 only two available within each ARM core. It is not until soft_breakpoints_enabled that software
29 breakpoints can be enabled. When kernel debug is enabled, it will remain enabled until it is
30 disabled or Trace32 is closed
