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
Achim
