it should work
ive mounted the .img file as JFFS2, and i can see all the data/files. on a linux host. (looks like there are 3 partitions, 2 boot, 1 ram disc) will examine further b4 i attempt.
it wont affect the u-boot existing partitions as i can set the env boot to the ram disk.
the commands i had previously overlooked this and were attempting to write to the Flash which is only 16MB.
ive also found all of the u-boot memory addresses in all ram devices. and in the envprint command i can see buried deep references to
/dev/mtdblock0 |
/dev/mtdblock1 |
/dev/mtdblock2 |
/dev/mtdblock3 |
/dev/mtdblock4 |
which are the physical partitions on flash, NAND, etc
so its looking more positive.
