I wrote it down because I intended to include it... I'll check when I get back home but this date looks familiar. As for reducing the backup: I'm trying to create a backup of the initial image that came with the device so I'd like to avoid throwing stuff away. So the recommendation would be to update the U-Boot with: 1) backup exsitng U-Boot (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Backup): Boot NOR boto menu sudo ./dfu-util -a u-boot -R -U good-u-boot.bin sudo ./dfu-util -a u-boot_env -R -U good-u-boot_env.bin 2) flash U-Boot (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Flashing_the_Neo_FreeRunner#Flashing_the_boot_loader_to_the_NAND): dfu-util -a u-boot -R -D uboot.bin Reboot the device to use the new U-Boot but the following reminder is not very clear to me: "Reminder: You should have boot from NOR first, in order to flash the boot-loader in NAND. After flashing succesfully, make sure you reboot from NAND's newly flashed boot loader, to benefit from the updates. " Does this mean I simply have to reboot the FreeRunner to the NOR boot menu again, or do I have to boot to the NAND boot menu as well/instead? And from which boot menu should I continue backing up the device? >From the NOR menu? Which u-boot.bin should I use? And where should I get it? Thanks in advance.
