Hm... sounds like an oxymoron to me. If the partition is read-only, you can only read from it, but you cannot update it. > read about mtd-utils that they are problematic doing those things. Maybe you could be a bit more specific? Which exact issues do you see with using the MTD utulities? > Have anyone experience about remote upgrade with mtd-utils or should > we go another way. The fundamental problem of your approach is that a read-only storage device cannot be written (otherwise it would not be read-only). Given the lack of precise information it is also not possible to say if the mtd-utils are suitable for what you want to do. Please also note that your question is quite off topic here: this has nothing to do with ELDK. If you have specific, MTD related questions you should ask these on the MTD mailing list instead.
