I have a question which I think is the same as this, I am trying to restore the bin image of the factory gumstix build from sourceforge... its a single .bin file. I presume this includes at least the file system and the kernel, probably uboot as well... but I am wary to flash the entire gumstix without knowing this for sure. Does anyone know definitively how to restore this .bin image of the factory software install for the gumstix? > All, > > I'm curious about the procedure to save the flash that has been loaded > to the gumstix. > > Here's a link to the wiki where the process is described: > > http://docwiki.gumstix.org/Replacing_the_filesystem_image#Copying_the_flash_image > > The contents of that section are here: > > ---------------------------------------------- > Copying the flash image > > You can make a copy of the flash > u-boot > dd if=/dev/mtdblock0 of=/tmp/saved-mtd0 > root > mount -o remount,ro / > dd if=/dev/mtdblock1 of=/tmp/saved-mtd1 > then move this copy off the gumstix using scp or copy it to a mounted > mmc or cf card > ----------------------------------------------- > > Since the "modern" build root process produces three files - rootfs, > uboot and Image - do these instuctions require modification?
