Any thoughts on show this could be scripted and run? As Bo mentioned. But why don't just do this in userspace? First thing would be to have a script that stops services, remount everything ro and write the respective blobs to /dev/mtdX. Another solution (or enhancement) could be to spawn a kexec kernel and do all the stuff in a clean environment. The advantage of this solution is to have a full blown environment with sophisticated UI. I think this is the most annoying thing in u-boot ... we do lack a good environment for UI represented to the end user. Well, we have to discuss if this is a drawback ;) Best regards Andreas Bießmann _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list [email protected] http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
