[U-Boot] How to backup the working u-boot image from the flash image.
Hi all, Since I dont have the source code of u-boot image which is prgrammed in the board. I want to know how can I back up the working u-boot present in the flash and store it in a file in my system before flashing the new u-boot. so the working image can used to restore the board to working condition at any time. -- Regards, Mohamed Thalib .H ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot

Where did you get the board with the binary from? As U-Boot is GPL'ized free software, you have the right to get the sources from anyone who handed out the binary to you. It's not a matter of courtesy but an obligation. Best regards, Daniel ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot

Best regards, Daniel The board is a custom one. the uboot was ported by someone else .. the modified source code is not currently avilable. -- Regards, Mohamed Thalib .H ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
