Kindle model: Paperwhite 1
Kindle firmware version: 5.3.4
U-Boot firmware version: U-Boot 2009.08-lab126 (Mar 05 2013 - 18:22:51)
Again, I'm just a newbie with no rush at all, I want to learn about u-boot, fastboot, kernel recompilation and building root filesystems for embedded devices.
I want to have the control over the device. I want a Debian like root filesystem (to have apt-get), that's why I thought of debootstrap/multistrap. If that's not possible then I will have to build a basic root filesystem from the sources.
I already did a debootstraped root filesystem (ext3) that I want to test, but I have a kernel panic. It complains about not finding 'init'. So, coming back to the topic of this thread
, I think that what is stoping me now is fastboot. Now I want to try with kermit protocol to send the image directly to u-boot. I have to learn.
