Where is the pablob golden ermine update located? Could you put up a link and update instructions? I couldn't find it using search.
Thanks,

I have started to think that one of the most practical ways to do recovery would be to get u-boot to boot from the SD card, and make a SD-card-based recovery image.
Advantages: - No need to change the mtd device mappings in the device.
- Robust, it would only stop working if u-boot stops working (it would not depend on the flaky NAND of these devices)
- As a side effect, implementation of this might also allow for booting alternate systems from SD.
Disadvantages: - It would require an SD card (but most people use their Edge with one., so that won't be a problem).
- Requires that someone finds a way to enable SD booting from u-boot, which might not be hard or might requiring recompiling u-boot (which would make things quite hard, if not impossible).
It would be nice to have a framebuffer-enabled console for the system's kernel, that would make life easier as it would allow to use a shell-based script to manage recovery. |
