updating uboot while the phone's running
in a bid to do away with dfu and usb networking altogether - it all seems a bit clunky to be honest - is it possible to update uboot while the phone is running? i see from this, it's possible to read te contents of that flash area, but can it be written to, or does it need to be in a certain boot mode? http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Flashing_the_Neo_Freerunner#Flashing_the_boot_loader_to_the_NAND ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

It's not supported yet (AFAIK) but I think that it would be possible. It's not as easy as flashing the kernel partition because you have to write an environment offset pointer into the out-of-band data of the first flash block. This tells u-boot which block contains its environment variables, and this number is specific to each device due to bad blocks. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
