I'd suggest asking the manufacturer -- if they put u-boot in devices that they distribute, then they must provide the corresponding source code.

'Similar' is no warranty as far as booting a device is concerned, and you should not bet on 'similar' unless you have absolutely no other choice. > Heres some info about the netbook: > Make/Model: Easy Notebook Model P701 > The netbook was originally purchased from > http://www.oo.com.au/EasyNotebook_Ultra_Portable_La_P41265.cfm > MOBO: P701_MAIN_V9 20100927 > Daughter board: CPU8505_V3 > CPU: WM8505 - WonderMedia 8505 ARM926EJ-S (ARMv5) > Flash: F40-100GCP 4Mbit serial flash > RAM: Hynix h5ps1g63efr-y5c - 128meg DDR2 667Mhz > LAN: Via Velocity VT6113 > WIFI: Ralink RT3070 > Sound: Everest Semiconductor ES8328 Low Power Codec > USB Hub: Genesys Logic GL850G > Storage: Samsung MLC Flash K9GAG08U0E-SCB0 - 2Gig via Chipsbank CBM2093 > USB-Flash controller > Pointing device: Cube FKT0107D > Unknown: HT-95A-2 - Possibly keyboard encoder/decoder? > LEDs available: Caps lock, Scroll Lock, Num Lock, Battery Charging, Powered > on > > Ive uploaded some images of the mainboard and daughter board > http://old.nabble.com/file/p31979430/IMG00193-20110701-1615.jpg Underside of > mainboard > http://old.nabble.com/file/p31979430/IMG00194-20110701-1616.jpg Topside of > mainboard > > Really appreciate any and all help.
