Hi,

to copy barebox to a mmc I use the command "dd if=barebox.bin
of=/dev/sdb bs=512 seek=2 skip=2&&  sync". So I don't touch the
first 0x400 bytes with contains the partition table and everything
is fine.

But I want to write a little script to update barebox itself via
tftp. So I create a partition "/dev/self0" (0x00000 to 0x40000) and
update barebox with "tftp barebox.bin /dev/self0". The problem is
that barebox write the first 0x400 bytes too and overwrite the
partition table .

Is there any way to "seek" and "skip" with barebox?
Not directly. What you can do is this:

tftp barebox.bin
memcpy -s barebox.bin -d /dev/self0 512 0
It's working, but I have to use "1024" instead of "512". Also I have to change my partition init from "devfs_add_partition("disk0", 0x000000, 0x040000, PARTITION_FIXED, "self0");"
to
devfs_add_partition("disk0", 0x000400, 0x040000, PARTITION_FIXED, "self0");


Regards,
Thomas
