If it is just the 1.5 gig of cross compiling toos etc you want to back up back up only that partition and ignore rest.

My suggestion would be to download ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7350-linux/binaries/ts-images/512mbsd-aug252008.dd.bz2

DD this onto the card. Then you can resize the last parition to the size of the card.

I done this successfully anyways, but I'm no expert.
I wrote a summary here http://automon.killarneyonline.eu/?p=80

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried all of this. It did copy much
faster, but it acts exactly the same.

Do you hav any other thoughts on how to get past the write protection?

Thanks,
Ken
