Can yopu please tell me what the "the android fastboot" protocol is?

Yet another alternative for the problem already solved by DFU[1]? Damn, after some recent activity in this area again I was starting to raise my hopes that more people realize such a thing exists already :( Thanks Detlev [1] http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_DFU -- You see, the best way to solve a problem is to rigorously define it in terms of other people's problems, and then run away quickly. -- Roland McGrath -- DENX Software Engineering GmbH, MD: Wolfgang Denk & Detlev Zundel HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-40 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: dzu at denx.de ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

It needs a util on the host, but for development purposes that would be fine. A usb-storage like solution would be more flexible. It could have the option to poke around in a jffs2 image while still in u-boot. Very nice when the firmware doesn't boot or let you log in due to a small mistake in the image. But I guess that jffs2 R/W support in U-Boot is a bridge or two to far :-)) -- Bas ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Is that fastboot usb-storage based? From the wiki-page that you referenced I only see that you also need a separate host tool to use it. So that's not much of a difference, is it? > But I guess that jffs2 R/W support in U-Boot is a bridge or two to far > :-)) And maybe a bridge I would not invest time anymore as UBI+UBIFS seems to be the weapon of choice against the fallability of NAND devices.
