Hello,
how can I boot a Linux-Kernel stored in a JFFS2-Partition?
For now I don't care about how to get the JFFS2-Partition formattet and how to copy the Image to it,
let's assume it's already there.I only want to read the Image from the Partition and start it into
RAM.
I know there is an extension package 'JFFS2' for ecos, but (how?) can I include it into Redboot and
how
can I tell Redboot to load an Image from JFFS2-Partition (where the Image is splittet into several
JFFS2-specific blocks and cannot be loaded linear from a starting address like normally) ?
Best regards and many thanks in advance
Thomas Rudolph

Currently this support is not suitable (ready) for RedBoot.
It is on the top of our list of things to be done though!
