The correct (and since the last upload working, see bug #512589 [1]) tool to configure U-Boot is the uboot-envtools package. This should assure that we do not have any corruption due to upload process or mtd reading. Moreover, since this is the upstream (i.e. U-Boot authors) tool, we can complain to them. [1] http://bugs.debian.org/512589 ATM, we provide two different hand-made tools: - configure-uboot.sh http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/files.git;a=blob;f=configure-uboot.sh;h=393837cf5e4e47053212abacce2ba7d876a3125b;hb=HEAD This is a stand-alone version of the shell script included in install.sh and the reasons for it are explained at http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/smartphones-standards/2008-August/000262.html - uboot-envedit (package fso-utils) http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/fso-utils.git;a=blob;f=uboot-envedit;h=78b55fe82502b46aebbd7b400451d36336e957b1;hb=HEAD I do not know why Openmoko decided to not use upstream tool, but I am for removing it from the Debian fso-utils package, adding a note in NEWS.Debian or README.Debian. This not only because it is a hack at least I have never tested, but also because since Openmoko abandoned U-Boot, I am not sure anyone between them is still using it. We should convert install.sh to use the uboot-envtools package, but I do not think it is worth it, since AFAIK no one reported any U-Boot corruption in the last months. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
