Is this a mistake in the wiki?
This is not a mistake. Follow the instructions on the wiki and it will work. The Freerunner has 2 copies of uBoot, one in NAND and one in NOR. The one in NOR can't be overwritten without the debug board, while the one in NAND can be overwritten using dfu-util. If you manage to overwrite the NAND uBoot with a non-working version you can still use the NOR version to flash a working uBoot into NAND. This is what the instructions mean when they talk about it being for emergencies. I don't think it makes any difference whether you use the NAND or NOR version for flashing kernel and rootfs, but so far I have always used the NOR version and it has always worked. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
