Dreamplug/openocd

[spinifex]

I am in the process of playing with uBoot setup on the Dreamplug.
What I would really like is an openocd setup that can update the uBoot environment (nothing else).
Does anyone know of (or have this)?

At this time, openocd does not have support for the dreamplug's SPI/NOR so it cannot be done. however you can use openocd to halt the dreamplug, transfer your uboot into memory, resume and flash with existing command.

Warning, do not flash just any u-boot code you got. your u-boot code need to be able to boot from SPI so use "mkimage -l -u-boot-filename" to check it is bootable from SPI.

Good luck

Is openocd going to have support for this spi/nor soon you think, is it in progress?

One would hope so. A Sheevaplug without the installer is sort of limited in use (no Meteohub for example).

Really? How would I start to do this? Any examples? This sounds like a way to recover if needed.
