New Kindle Image

Culex · 08-26-2013, 05:06 AM

I've generated an image from the latest buildroot for my Kindle touch. My question is..how do i boot the new image? It has the new kernel and everything. Without modifying the existing installation of course.

1) Connect to the serial port of the Kindle.
See our "Master index" sticky thread to find the details.

2) Use the commands of the stock u-boot (either the boot version or the "bis" version) to load your image into ram.

3) Test heavily.

4) (not so optional) - Have a recent release of Kubrick on-hand and ready to go if you mess up step #2

sounds..fun. heh. Actually I'm going to try doing a pivot_root and rerun init to see if that works. Cairo keeps failing tho on buildroot, will have to try without it first.
