I think if you’re at a point where the kernel is happy, the next step is to use `dd` to copy an image from an SD card into mtdblock0p6.

I got myself a Kobo Mini for dev work now, but before I sit down to play with it I’ll try and see what you’d need to do with the data on the recorveey SD card to wipe the “onboard” parition.
See posts 18 and 20. I can't get /dev/mtdblock6 to mount properly. It doesn't appear to be available when I boot from nand or sd. Any suggestions?

Also, do you know how much ram is available and what address it is referenced at? Can I write 836mb (the size of the mtdblock6 image I got from NickE) to 0x31000000?

I could try breaking up the file into chunks and using loadum and nandw to write the chunks to the nand.
