My client wants the ability to upload a new image, and write it into boot NOR flash. We have uBoot, but in many deployments, neither the serial port nor Ethernet will be available, so we can't use uBoot to do this. We have the basic idea of uploading (over USB Gadget serial) a new image, storing it into RAM, then writing over the old uClinux image (yeah, the inherent danger with power loss is an acceptable risk). I think I (might) have the configuration options right, but I'm not able to figure out how to do the flash write. Here are what I _think_ are the relevant options:
MTD=y MTD_CFI=y MTD_PHYSMAP=y MTD_UCLINUX=y (Not sure if this is relevant or not...) I also have the memory map options set correctly. Now I would think I could use flashw to do the dirty work, right? But, I don't know how to set up the required <rom-device> argument for flashw. I suspect I need to define a "device node" in the /dev directory, but this is where my knowledge ends. I really don't understand how that is done - can anyone help?
