I've been looking at the scripts of the installer and openOCD. I see that the installer uses openOCD to write images to the NAND in the plug. I also see that openOCD has the ability to read NAND and save it as a file.

I think a new utility that reads nand images to a file would be a very useful addition to the toolbox. This could provide a backup of the plug as received and would enable the device to be restored to its' "as delivered" state. This would be an excellent safety net for those of us looking to learn by our mistakes!

I could probably eventually make this utility but maybe someone (Rabeeh?) could do it a lot quicker than me.

Thoughts?

Is it possible to create a uboot image from NAND? I have a pogoplug which has a different uboot than the development kit uboot. So far I have been unable to find a Pogoplug uboot image. I would like to know that I can restore my plug to it's original state before I overwrite it.

Thanks,
Ian

Alternatively does anyone have the Pogoplug uboot image?

Thank you very much for the quick response. I think $(bootargs_sd) should be $(bootargs_usb) in bootcmd_usb.

Could you post the "USB Variables" in the same format as the "SD variables"?
Thanks,
Ian

Hi,

Noobie here.

I have a pogoplug. I do not want to overwrite the NAND until I am more familiar with this device. So what I would like to do is create a bootable USB from the Sheevaplug installer - alpha-6. Once I have the correct files on a USB stick, I can set up uboot simlilar to http://www.openplug.org/plugwiki/index.php/Multi-Boot. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Ian
