Hi,

I did some digging and realised that it can be done and reading code
(for fis )is infact there to be reused as part of redboot.c in kernel
ditro .. parse_redboot_partitions.

Just one more small doubt, I hope that these partitions are write able
also form uer plane ?

Googl'ing showed that sometime back this was made read only  but then
made rw ..
I am using an old archived version of redboot source . 
1) so how can I be sure of if its r or rw in my version ? where in kernel code ?
2) How to change it to make it rw in case I have to .. ?

Any practical issues / pitfalls I should look out for, before I get
down to programming this tomorrow.

Cheers,
Alfred

Hi,

Is it possible to access config area redboot writes from linux ??

The idea is to put a flag in this redboot area before redboot is booting up ..
and when kernel comes up, see this info ..

(I cannot use jffs2 partition as I am on an intel supplied / supported
old source which doesnt has jffs2 access)

Cheers,

Alfred
