In another thread (aren't forums wonderfully messy?) I posted that I thought I had downloaded the EE firmware without knowing the difference initially between an EE and PE. From that thread,
"I'm 98% sure I upgraded to e-update.golden.zip (EE) that emusan had tweaked to not do the TARGET != UPDATE check that DarkGrue had success with. Thus, attempting to install the EE firmware on my PE." I would say that file should be named in a way to scare people away.

Yes, for me either. I don't thing we have a prayer trying to get the EE (Edge) firmware to completely boot on PE (Pocket Edge). I've been reading a bit how u-boot works. If we
only had the command "usbboot" I think we'd be quite close. We have "tftpboot" but I'm not sure what that means on this hardware. We have wifi, which I doubt u-boot has a driver stack for. We also have usb. I keep seeing
u2o-eth which must be usb-to-ethernet. For tftp to work you'd need TCP/IP working, but can that be done over vanilla USB? I have an old usb-to-ethernet from 3com, but I can't believe u-boot would have a driver stack for that weird thing.
FYI, "printenv" shows some default IP stuff set. "u2o-eth" gets very few hits on google... This page is #1 now! The env variable "bootargs_nfs" shows ip=192.168.2.101:192.168.2.100::usb0:on" So... you must be able to do tftp over plain old USB. I wonder what the tftp server end looks like? The only tftp servers I know of talk to a real ethernet adapter.
