The board is a custom one. the uboot was ported by someone else .. the
modified source code is not currently avilable.

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.

[U-Boot] How to backup the working u-boot image from the flash image.

2008-11-30 Thread Mohamed Thalib .H
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.
