On a related topic (firmware upgrade), I have: https://gitorious.org/embedded-linux-firmware-upgrade-tool/embedded-linux-firmware-upgrade-tool It has a: * A host utility to prepare firmware images composed of multiple parts (usually a kernel image + root filesystem image, but there could be more) * A target utility that can run either on the command line or as a CGI script. This utility does the firmware upgrade itself by fiddling with the U-Boot environment. The tool assumes that the flash has two partitions for each component been upgraded (one active partition, one to upgrade). The documentation at https://gitorious.org/embedded-linux-firmware-upgrade-tool/embedded-linux-firmware-upgrade-tool/blobs/master/fwupgrade-doc.txt has a few details.
