RE: [Gumstix-users] Replace filesystem image using the usb connection

[Heilpern, M. <mar...@au...>]

Using scp, you can certainly replace individual elements within the
filesystem, but I don't believe you can use it to replace the entire
filesystem. For that, you would be best served by putting the image you
want on an MMC card and using U-Boot's tools to burn the new image in
flash. The www.gumstix.org Tiki has the specific commands needed to do
this with their exact syntax. If you don't have a way to write to an MMC
card from your FC3 system, you could use scp to copy it to the card
mounted in your stix.

Subject: [SPAM] - [Gumstix-users] Replace filesystem image using the usb
connection - Email found in subject



I plan to have a number of gumstix devices acting as home automation
controllers and want to be able to control them centrally and load new
software into them automatically.  I've got my gumstix talking to FC3
over the usb connection Is there a way to replace the filesystem image
using this connection - using scp or something like tftp?

Thanks

Steve (another newbie)
