Dear friends, I have made a lot of modifications on the linux kernel and user partition on my mini2440, and now it's stable. I want to keep a copy of the full NAND and use it as a baseline for production and I think the best is to do a NAND backup and then restore it to multiple devices. When I try it I get the following: ---------------------------------------------------------- ##### FriendlyARM BIOS 2.0 for 2440 ##### [x] format NAND FLASH for Linux [v] Download vivi [k] Download linux kernel [y] Download root_yaffs image [a] Absolute User Application [n] Download Nboot for WinCE [l] Download WinCE boot-logo [w] Download WinCE NK.bin [d] Download & Run [z] Download zImage into RAM [g] Boot linux from RAM [f] Format the nand flash [b] Boot the system [s] Set the boot parameters [u] Backup NAND Flash to HOST through USB(upload) [r] Restore NAND Flash from HOST through USB [q] Goto shell of vivi [i] Version: 0945-2K Enter your selection: u Backup Information: Start Addr : 0x0 End Addr : 0x10000000 bBackupOOB : 1 bCheckBad : 1 dwBackupTotalLen : 0x10800000 dwReservedBlks : 28 dwEPInPktSize : 32 Use dnw.exe to receive backup. ---------------------------------------------------------- supervivi is expecting me to connect with dnw from windows, but I am working with Ubuntu 10.04 desktop LTE. How can I upload the image to the host? How can I download it ti the mini2440 again? NOTE: I am connected to mini2440 by two means: 1) USB-to-RS232, using the command: cu -l /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 115200 2) USB host on PC to USB device on mini2440 (not in use) Thank you in advance! Ricard.
NAND backup and restore from linux (mini2440)
Hello Ricard Bou. I did backup and restore from NAND memory of mini2440 board by using dnw and Hyper Terminal in windowXP (not ubuntu as you mentioned, I also need windowXP to install winCE, linux and android for mini2440). If possible, have a look here to know how to backup and restore mini2440 (in windowXP) http://mini2440vietnam.blogspot.com/2011/01/back-up-and-restore-mini2440... Good luck ^^
