Booting rescueOS with U-Boot from SD card
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use this method if you have installed U-Boot (https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=81613)
and battery is so depleted, that flashing doesn't work.
You'll need "mkimage" command from "u-boot-tools" package.
Preparing required files:
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 80008000 -e 80008000 -n kernel -d rescueOS_n900_kernel_1.3.zImage rescueOS_n900_kernel_1.3.uImage
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C none -a 0 -e 0 -n initrd -d rescueOS-1.3.img rescueOS-1.3.uimg
cat >boot.cmd <<EOF
setenv bootargs rootdelay root=/dev/ram0;
setenv setup_omap_atag 1;
setenv mmckernfile rescueOS_n900_kernel_1.3.uImage;
setenv mmcinitrdfile rescueOS-1.3.uimg;
setenv mmcscriptfile;
run trymmckerninitrdboot;
EOF
mkimage -c none -A arm -T script -d boot.cmd boot.scr
Preparing SD card:
Your SD card needs to have the first partition formatted as ext2/3/4 or FAT.
Put generated files (without boot.cmd) in the root directory.
Now you should be able to boot rescueOS with generic "External SD card" option from U-Boot.
