- Subject: [ECOS] backup strategy for loading Linux kernel in Redboot FIS ?
Hi,
for a deployable system I need the possibility to load a linux kernel into
the Redboot FIS, to update the system.
This must be possible via ethernet or modem connection (ppp).
Therefore the load and store has to be done by the running Linux system.
Now I am looking for a backup strategy in the case of a fault - e. g. power
failure - during load or writing the kernel.
In that case the linux kernel couldn't be started again.
I am thinking of a second Linux kernel, which could be started in the case,
the load of the first one fails.
How could this be handled?
Or is there a better solution?
Regards
Andreas
