Hello, I try to follow the tutorial to replace the flash of my overo by a new image.( http://gumstix.org/how-to/70-writing-images-to-flash.html) Problem is in the script, it is expected a .ubi file but in the tested stable image there is only tar.bz2 file. how i can run the script with the tar.bz2 file? regards, Mathieu |

Hi Mathieu, If you look in the developer images from the same date you'll find the ubi that you are looking for. It has not been prebooted so it will take a little more time to come up than the tar archive. - Neil On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 9:11 AM, M Pouillot <m.p...@wa...> wrote: > Hello, I try to follow the tutorial to replace the flash of my overo by a > new image.( http://gumstix.org/how-to/70-writing-images-to-flash.html) > Problem is in the script, it is expected a .ubi file but in the tested > stable image there is only tar.bz2 file. how i can run the script with the > tar.bz2 file? > > > > regards, > > > > Mathieu > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a > definitive record of customers, application performance, security > threats, fraudulent activity and more.

Neil, I was having the same problem, and your response showed me where to grab a file system with the ".ubi" extension. I was able to flash the nand with the pre-built images from Gumstix. However, I have already modified a different file system and I would like to flash it to the nand. Does anyone know of a way to flash a file system with a ".tar.bz2" extension to the nand?

Mathieu: You may find this site helpful, as it describes what ubi is, as well as some utilities to work with images of this type. http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubi.html Note: I have no experience with these, but you may find the info useful.

Sakoman, your NAND flashing "How-to"s are very helpful, and they solved my problem of not being able to flash a tar.bz2. -- View this message in context: http://gumstix.8.n6.nabble.com/UBI-file-instead-tar-bz2-in-the-image-to-flash-scripting-tp569855p3240154.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

Hello, I have just found this thread. I followed the link which worked for the person above me however I am having difficulty following method #1 which would be my preferred method if possible. I am able to erase the NAND with: /# flash_erase /dev/mtd4 0 0/ Everything works fine. I am also able to complete the next listed step: /# ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 4/ Everything completes well so far. I am not able to complete your next step: # ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs -m I receive a couple of errors with that command: libubi: error!: cannot get information about "/dev/ubi0" error 2 (no such file or directory) ubimkvol: error!: error while probing "/dev/ubi0" error 2 (no such file or directory) If I look in /dev/ I can see: mtd0 through mtd4 mtd0ro through mtd4ro mtdblock0 through mtdblock4 ubi_ctrl (as well as other normal stuff) There is no /dev/ubi0 or any other device with "ubi" in it that I can see. The bootable SD card I am using is from following the tutorial on the gumstix website using overo-console-image. Am I having difficulty because the directions only work with images from the same site as the how-to's ? I found directions on another site which *SEEM* to work: ubiattach -p /dev/mtd4 mount -t ubifs -o rw,bulk_read,no_chk_data_crc ubi0:rootfs /MyCustomPathHere This allows me to mount the NAND to a folder and read and write to it. I am running into a problem where the image I copy does not seem stable which I do not know if it is a separate issue or related to bad data transfer due to improper ubifs mounting. I would like to follow the directions in the link but I cannot get past the error above. I would appreciate assistance. -- View this message in context: http://gumstix.8.n6.nabble.com/UBI-file-instead-tar-bz2-in-the-image-to-flash-scripting-tp569855p3521484.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

I have been searching google more and there is a site with directions to create ubi0 in /dev by reading /proc/devices but there are no ubi lines referenced in that file at all. I hope someone knows what is going on. -- View this message in context: http://gumstix.8.n6.nabble.com/UBI-file-instead-tar-bz2-in-the-image-to-flash-scripting-tp569855p3521752.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

I have started completely fresh and have found that I no longer get stuck on my previous issue. I can only assume that my OS / build must have been corrupt or having deeper issues. -- View this message in context: http://gumstix.8.n6.nabble.com/UBI-file-instead-tar-bz2-in-the-image-to-flash-scripting-tp569855p3550479.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |
