You can always use openocd through the jtag, and test or reflash whatever you want. A new uboot, for example. The plugcomputer.org wiki or places like that will give you information on how to do that. 2010/3/10 Shiva Bhattacharjee : > Hi, > I was about to install debian on my sheevaplug. Since I

It was a while ago since I did any reading on LFS, but as far as I can remember it simply gives you instructions on how to build a custom Linux OS from scratch by downloading all the sources one by one yourself. I guess that means that the answer to all of your questions is "no". 2010/3/10 Luke Ke

Ok I'm quite a newbe to both Linux and "PC" development, however I know what I want to do but don't know where to start! What I'd like to know is how do I build a distribution entirely from scratch/source like the pro's do. ie. Get all the debian source for the latest arm port (just the source) a
