for flashing from the running fdr: the opkg kernel packages do it, using nandwrite. it would be very interesting if on of the hw guys (andy?) could point out if the procedure works for flashing u-boot and flash (when running from sd), too. for booting from sd: to get there you still need the boot menu -- unles even the boot env could be flashed from inside fr and, additionally, the menu could made show up by default (and boot the first entry after a timeout). so, basically the question to the more expereinced members of the list: what exactly could we do with nandwrite and friends of mtdutils? ps: just for informational purposes -- below the script _i_ use to flash a debian kernel to the kernel partition. KIDS! DON'T DO THAT AT HOME!!! #!/bin/sh # cat /proc/mtd returns addresses and names of partitions MTD_KERNEL_PARTITION=`cat /proc/mtd | grep kernel | cut -d':' -f1` MTD_KERNEL_PARTITION=/dev/$MTD_KERNEL_PARTITION /usr/sbin/flash_eraseall $MTD_KERNEL_PARTITION /usr/sbin/nandwrite -p $MTD_KERNEL_PARTITION /boot/uImage.bin _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
