Hi Eddie, Thanks; more qs! 1. Okay> How does one manually re-partition the flash chip on the TS-7200 board? > Is it done direct via the RedBoot monitor, and if so, how? > Or mtdutils? if so, how? > > Anyone know of any documentation out there? The partitions are specified in the mtd drivers. I assume this would be in drivers/mtd/maps/ts7xxx.c . Modify, rebuild, flash. Right?//Eddie 2. Reg kernel source, I saw on http://www.embeddedarm.com/linux/ARM.htm the foll: --snip-- Technologic Systems is constantly improving the TS-Kernel -- the latest versions are:
I have the TS-7200 board. Which version would be best for it? Or do all support it? 3. On a diff. topic: I have a CF card formatted as VFAT. I copied the original TS Root File System (RFS) onto it, and booted from it as shown in the manual. It worked, mounting the "/" as readonly. I remounted as rw. mount shows: $ mount /dev/root on / type ext2 (ro) none on /dev type devfs (rw) /proc on /proc type proc (rw) /dev/mtdblock/1 on / type jffs2 (rw) $ $ mount -o remount,rw / EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended $ mount /dev/root on / type ext2 (rw) none on /dev type devfs (rw) /proc on /proc type proc (rw) /dev/mtdblock/1 on / type jffs2 (rw) $ My qs are: a) Therefore it's ok to use a VFAT format on root? Any issues? (I did see a few warnings) as it's "trying" to treat it as ext2 though.. So would you recommend I reformat the RFS as ext2? b) How come I also see "/" mounted on /dev/mtdblock/1 as: --snip-- /dev/mtdblock/1 on / type jffs2 (rw) --snip-- What am i missing here? TIA, Regards, -- Kaiwan. __._,_.___
