Hi, Michael. Having the real RedBoot partition parsed at the kernel
boot would allow for partition reordering and resizing. In my case, I
wanted to store a larger kernel (although I didn't need it in the
end), and a larger kernel partition was needed. To achieve that, I
would have to edit the mtd flash kernel struct to reflect the new
partition sizes (drivers/mtd/maps/ts7xxx.c). There is a RedBoot
partition parser in drivers/mtd/redboot.c, but I couldn't make it
work.
