Hello Guys, I wanted to use Linux development environment for my mini2440. I was looking for a software like DNW and finally came across usbpush software. I was overwhelmed initially but later found the software to be really slow. So I decided to write my own method. I thought this to be a good opportunity to learn and write a USB driver. So I have written a mini2440 USB client driver (a trivial one) and an application (similar to usbpush). I tested my application+module combination and found that the I could drastically reduce my download time. My yaffs2 qtopia rootfs which is around 85 Mb in size used to take around 15-20 minutes while using usbpush.Using my new approach it is taking 4-5 minutes. This is a first version of the software (module+application) and it has lots of scope of improvement. As the application architecture is very similar to usbpush, so the issue of mmap, incase of big binaries still remains. I plan to handle these loop holes in future versions. Can some one please suggest me If I can upload my source to some web space from where others can download/use the software and give me some feedback? Thanks and Regards, Souvik
Linux USB driver for faster download for Flashing
Sounds great. Would love to try it out. Check on the http://www.friendlyarm.net/downloads page (bottom). See if you can upload to the FTP site and share the link here ? OTOH, another option is just to go ahead and create a code.google.com project, upload there, tag it properly (e.g. mini2440, usb, fast, usbpush, download etc.) an leave a message here.
Hello Icarus, you can find the code at the following URL: http://code.google.com/p/mini2440-fast-usb/ Please read the README file first. Thanks and Regards, Souvik
