ATAG: 0x60000800

#RECOVER_KEY: 1,1,0,20,0
CMDLINE:console=ttyFIQ0,115200 console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootfstype=ext4 mac_addr=12:21:34:43:56:65 init=/sbin/init initrd=0x62000000,0x00800000 mtdparts=rk29xxnand:0x00008000@0x00002000(boot),-@0x0000A000(linuxroot)

Create Lubuntu SD Card

$ sudo dd if=mydir/rootfs-desktop.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1
$ sync

Resize SD Card

$ sudo resize2fs -p /dev/mmcblk0p1

you can make/boot (l)ubuntu from SD card without (modification to) NAND.
