Hi all,

On my pxa270 board, I want to perform kernel and main rootfs updates using a 
small rootfs ( initramfs) flashed on the NOR.
Can anybody provide me a good descriptive stuffs on the above software updates 
using initramfs?

Thanks
Sara

I have implemented a similar update scheme on several projects -- a few notes:

uclibc support for ARM is now pretty decent in OpenEmbedded, so what I
typically do now is build a small nor image using uclibc, and the main
rootfs using glibc.
