Hi all, I've a recently bought mini2440 with the default configuration (SuperBoot, original kernel and root fs). I've installed some stuff on it and I would like to save the root fs. What is the easiest way to build an image (just like the "rootfs_qtopia_qt4.img" shipped with the board) ? Thanks
With the older boards using DNW and SuperVivi there was an option to save your rootfs that you could restore. I am not familiar with Superboot, but does it not have a list of options?
Thanks for your answer. Well, I don't mind flashing SuperVivi to backup the rootfs if it works. But if I remember correctly, I cannot use SuperVivi to backup something else than the whole nand from the menu. I guess you are suggesting to use the command line to do that but I think I will have to backup the whole nand corresponding to the rootfs (pretty big on a 1gb flash). If I look at the "rootfs_qtopia_qt4.img" shipped with the board, it is only 200 Mb. So, it seems the image was built with only relevant data, not the whole rootfs block. Am I wrong ? Concerning SuperBoot, I've had a look at its options but it doesn't allow to backup, only write from what I've seen. It is pretty nice since it allows to burn the memory using a SD card only (no need to use dnw) but it doesn't seem to provide the needed to backup the nand (at least, not from what I've found so far).
Sorry it has been 4-5 years since I last tried it, so don't remember the details (SuperVivi). 200MB sounds about right. What do you mean by "the whole rootfs block"?
I mean the total size of the flash allowed to the rootfs. Which in a 1 gb flash means a little bit less than 1 gb I guess.
