Reading the post about gnu-tar I remember we talked about a new way to install 2.6 kernels and images on Zaurus. Well, there are very good reasons to make this now obsolete: - we can flash from console (2.6 userspace) - we have a different image-layout (kernel in /boot), thus we can boot from every hd partition - we can create jffs2 images (see Narcissus) and flash these from console, without striping the legacy headers. We can even have 2 images in nand My idea would be: -refactor updater.sh and flash only kernels -provide an updater script An example of the commands on c7x0 (see http://www.h5.dion.ne.jp/~rimemoon/zaurus/pic/nandmap.jpg): Kernel: nandlogical /dev/mtd1 WRITE 0x0E0000 0x140000 zImage.bin Rootfs: flash_eraseall -j /dev/mtd2 nandwrite /dev/mtd2 rootfs.jffs2 Optionally: flash_eraseall -j /dev/mtd3 nandwrite /dev/mtd3 rootfs.jffs2 Better ideas?
