I was thinking about it but that wasn't my preferred option because it seemed like an ugly workaround and I had recently read references to linuxbios/coreboot here. But whatever, I'm way past that and anything that do the job will be fine. Yet I wonder how this will confuse ofw, especially for updates and image signing. I mean, if I really have to live with OFW, then I'll shave its cute olpc sound, boot image and boot delay, also try to to remove the initrd to get additional seconds, but I don't want to discard OFW security advantages. Anyway, I will start the tests tonight, and after reading http://wiki.laptop.org/go/NAND_Testing + http://wiki.laptop.org/go/UBIFS_initial_experiments, I've more questions : - How is 2.6.29 working on the OLPC at the moment ? (I'd like to avoid running unstable 2.6.25 backport for production) Is there a binary somewhere, with ubifs compiled in? - There's a reference to q2e22, but can I use latest versions? - How is image signature process affected? With UBIFS, do you need 2 sigs, both for the jffs parition and the ubifs? Or just one the whole mtd ? - How to I remove the "clearnmarkers" for the UBI partition, as explained following olpc-image-builder ? Everything is explained but that.
