How far through it gets seems to vary each time I try it. Sounds like U-Boot DFU / USB support being crashy under stress, in your other mail you mentioned it reboots. I have used dfu-util in the other direction, sending a new rootfs image, many times though and it worked OK. Until Mike Montour noticed it the other day, our distribution package for U-Boot was coming from months old sources. Today or tomorrow the U-Boot package in the repo should jump ahead many patches (although I don't remember any for DFU). One of the packages allows ext2 / 3 boot from SD Card, if you are backing up your NAND rootfs so you can try ASU or another image, you will be able to do it shortly from SD Card boot fairly easily (after that U-Boot update). - -Andy -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkiESRsACgkQOjLpvpq7dMogxgCeMBZEQVrB3ZH/ZGj0hx+f/4/h AnAAn0mNlbq1WslYcdx2YxSg0eS867D3 =7ZIc -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
