Hi Pierre,
there is a slight misunderstanding: I've used the onboard flash memory, all is
installed on these 512Mb, so I cannot simply take it out and put it into a card
reader.
I guess I first have to make a dd from the good onboard flash to an SD card.
But is this possible during I have booted from this onboard flash and the
file-system is mounted???
So, probably I have to boot from any SD-Card, by changing JP1, than make the dd
from the onboard flash (how to access it than???) to ... next problem, to what?
There is no empty destination... maybe to an USB-stick connected to an USB
port... so you see, it is totally unclear for me...
Thanks for any help
