The reason I am asking for clearification is that Hans told me that I can
now boot from sata with only uboot on the SD card. So I can take an old
SD
card, put uboot on it and only change that when a new uboot is rolled in.
I
would pick up a couple sata drives cheap on ebay (back in the fall, I got
5
80Gb drives for $10/each and free shipping), and dd the partitions to
them
for testing.
If uboot is updated frequently with no announcement, that only means that
I
build a new uboot SD card with each sata drive image. Just an extra
step,
but I would like to know about uboot updates.
Watch the daily branched reports for F-22. If there's a new u-boot
there's a new u-boot, if there's not there's not!
Would I be looking for uboot-tools?
Yes
Great. No good deals on sata drives on ebay today. I do have one spare
here to start testing with.
Got to think about how to cobble the install script to support this.
Simple way is to mount both an SD card for uboot and the sata drive,
provide both devices on the command line and just split the script as to
what goes where. And if the variable UBOOT is not provided, no SD card...
