First, thanks for all the help - it _is_ starting to make sense! On Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 8:04 PM, David McCullough > Check out: > > http://www.ucdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/09/20/041251 > http://www.ucdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/11/1049210
David, thanks for the pointers, especially for Greg's article - I may have seen it before, and forgotten it in the year or so that I've been dabbling. Greg, thanks for the netflash tip. I had initially ruled that out, as in many cases, I won't have the network available; however, in your article that David pointed out to me, you note it can use a local file, so that's probably what I'll do. Now, it seems my task is to define the appropriate partitions, and I should be good to go. It appears I can write a mapping driver, or possibly use command line options. I should note that I'm using a 2.6 kernel (specifically, 2.6.17.1). What is the current "best way"? It seems a bit odd to have board-specific source files in the kernel tree - isn't that what we have in linux-2.6.17.1/drivers/mtd/maps/? I understand how history tends to drive the current... Seems a mapping driver is a bit heavy, and I'm not sure what needs to be in such a driver. So my inclination is to use kernel command line arguments (unless you all think it's not the best way to go), but I could use a pointer or two to references for the available arguments and formats, etc. Almost there, thanks to you guys! -Bob _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
