The first problem is that Netronix makes the hardware, and presumably, supplies sample firmware. However, neither Bookeen nor Foxit use it; they both wrote their own software. Both use Das uBoot as their bootloader, but they apparently chose different configuration options. In fact even the hardware is different.
I haven't finished looking at the uBoot sources, but I'm pretty sure there is no command to copy out existing software. Why would you (the manufacturer) need it? You already know what you put there. You want an easy way to put new software on it.
Which is what we want, too. I have no interest in duplicating other people's work. It would be nice to have a way to put the old software back, but that's up to the manufacturer. Hanlin does it for BeBook and Astak, but nobody else does (ASFAIK). Maybe that's why Open Inkpot started with that one.
