I was under the impression from past emails on the MTD list that the internal meta format for UBI has changed a few times over its lifetime. Assuming this continues, I would think this would cause problems for bootloaders such as U-Boot whose flash partitions are not necessarily rewritten in the case of a product upgrade - i.e. a firmware upgrade with a new kernel would have a new UBI implementation and spec causing an older bootloader to fail to operate properly with the newer image. /Ricard -- Ricard Wolf Wanderlöf ricardw(at)axis.com Axis Communications AB, Lund, Sweden www.axis.com Phone +46 46 272 2016 Fax +46 46 13 61 30 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
