Hi Harald - |> Sorry, never used it, no idea. U-Boot support for anything is pretty |> much deprecated since we plan to do stuff once in Linux only going on. | | nevertheless, there are existing customers/users and projects that [want to] | use the existing and deployed devices that ship with u-boot. | | If it is still not resolved, I will look at this issue once I've returned from | the netfilter developer summit. I am confident to be able to provide a fix | until Sunday, October 05. Sounds great. |> You can read the factory partition while in Linux, it's way easier. | | (I have to mention that I know Francesco as well as the project he's working | on). He needs to determine the IMEI in the bootloader for the security related | project. Obtaining it from the GSM modem in passthrough mode was working on | GTA01, and it should also work on GTA02. I would definitely prefer this method | to reading files from the factory partition, since the latter could be | corrupted in some worst-case scenario. | | Since the factory partition was introduced after I left Openmoko, and I don't | have any device that actually has a factory partition, I cannot provide any | hint on how to access it from u-boot itself. | | I'll try to get my hands on a GTA02 out of mass production and see what we can | do, though. Well thanks for looking at it, the deal is it is a small ext2 filesystem directly in a NAND partition. Recent U-Boot can parse ext2 OK, so all it should take is the right syntax for the partition in U-Boot speak and then the normal ext2 stuff in U-Boot should work. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjh4kIACgkQOjLpvpq7dMoJrQCcCLHCv5EhwDWqxSmINyHwH0Q8 UEUAoIKoaU6GuX10IN+3s7BTcanDJw4c =omHF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
