Re: Is there a dfu-util that can successfully backup an existing flash?

Bill, shameless self-promotion NeoTool will backup whatever you like, including rootfs, to a flashable image. It uses dfu-util for things like uboot, and the ssh / mkfs.jffs method method described elswehere to backup rootfs, and the images you get are flashable.

Battery Indicator Problem

I asked about this problem before, but I mislabelled it as an FSO issue. As it turns out, this problems happens with any distro I use except Qt Extended (I tried OM2008.9, FDOM, Android, FSO, and SHR). Whatever I use, everything boots without problems but the battery indicator seems to show a 0%

Re: Is there a dfu-util that can successfully backup an existing flash?

Use nanddump to read the content of /dev/mtd6 and put it into an image _that_ is a good one! i tried the mkfs.jffs2-via-ssh approach a while ago and due to an annoying instability of ssh (with dropbear in particular!) it died always after a few mb.

Re: Is there a dfu-util that can successfully backup an existing flash?

This sounds great, and I have some questions regarding it. I have a GTA01bv4 and wonder if it will be working on that one as well? Which leads me to what I am always worried about when updating uBoot: How do I know it won't brick my Neo? I only have the basic version with no debug card, and I

Best Dist only for GPS usage (and maybe wlan)?

Hi! I'm going on holiday in two weeks and I intend to use my freerunner only as GPS-device without GSM-card there. I'd like to use tangoGPS and download loads of maps from google and OSM beforehand. The question is: which distribution would be the best? My wishes for fast access and best
