Battery was at full charge. A couple of hours without the battery solved the problem - now i can power it up. But i discovered that u-boot_env is blanked. Now i seek a way to mend that. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

I've used the uboot-envedit (came with debian for the neo) to create it on the desktop, copy it over to the FR and write it to /dev/mtd2 with nandwrite. I could build one for you, modify the attached file for your needs and send it back to me.

I can't find any info on default mtdparts for GTA02. Besides the default is not the best solution because there are differences even between same models. The most simpleradical solution seems to copy NOR uboot and uboot_env into NAND but i dont know how to dump NOR content. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

The NOR content is not really useful for you, it is in /dev/mtd0 and it has a builtin environment.
