Yeah, for testing this would be really important. > Some stuff will change in comparisson with the a780 blob2: > * much easier, faster and secure to flash, no need to resize > partitions, both, 2.4 and 2.6 kernels will be on mmc card. > * no tight limits for kernel image size > * slower booting (the current mmc driver is very slow) > * *the phone will not work at all without a MMC card* Ah, I see. That's interesting, as this is leading towards a good road for general consumption. So can we have the following three boot cases: 1.) boot openezx 2.6 from MMC, mount rootfs on MMC 2.) boot motorola 2.4 from MMC, mount rootfs on flash 3.) boot openezx 2.6 from MMC; mount rootfs via USB ethernet I think demanding the MMC is a fair price to pay for people who want to experiment with what openezx can deliver while being able to easily "revert" to their working MOTO system.
