Flashing from MMC

Boot the Gumstix and access the Uboot console.

 mmcinit
 fatls mmc 1

 fatload mmc 1 a2000000 rootfs.arm_nofpu.jffs2

 protect on 1:0-1
 erase all
 cp.b a2000000 40000 ${filesize}

 boot

If you get a

 GUM> boot
 Instruction Cache is ON
 ### JFFS 2 loading 'boot/uImage' to 0xa2000000
 Scanning JFFS 2 FS: ........ done.
 find_inode failed for name=boot
 load: Failed to find inode
 ### JFFS 2 LOAD ERROR<0> for boot/uImage!

You may have run into a problem with the uBoot beeing too old. Crap. Look into this link uImage Location Problem Actually it does look like you can just do a

 cd gumstix-buildroot
 mkdir build_arm_nofpu/root/boot/
 cp uImage build_arm_nofpu/root/boot/
 make

And the uBoot is happy. However U will lose 1MB of space to an unused partition. WTF!
