06:14.52nkhHi
06:15.11nkhI need help with unpacking/packing an image for a Flash device
06:15.55nkhThe image is a 8M file , fdisk could not ecognize the file as a device
06:16.16nkhso I used the command "strings" to see what can I find
06:17.18nkhI found bootargs line of uboot and noticed that mtdparts=.... is giving me the partitions info, then I extracted the partitions from image with dd
06:17.24nkhhere is the problem:
06:17.54nkhI have this in bootargs : mtdparts=GM flash device:192K(boot),2368K(romfs),2944K(usr),2112K(custom),64K(logo),512K(mtd)
06:18.34nkh192 + 2368 = 2560
06:18.49nkhmean 2560 would be offset of usr partition
06:20.35nkhbut in the image, this offset contains about several KB of data and
06:20.53nkhoffset 131088 contains the string "Compressed ROMFS"
06:21.18nkhwhich should be at the offset 16 of a CramFS Partition
06:21.55nkhI cncated the partitions properly and extracted data but I don't know how to repack it that my device can boot from ! :D
06:22.55nkhany idea to how concat the generated images with mkcramfs to obey the original pertitioning?
06:25.03flyback-I think he channel is kinda dead right now
06:25.09flyback-try #sparkfun ##electronics
06:26.50nkhflyback-: :| thank you
06:27.10flyback-also feel free to keep idling here someone might be around another time
06:28.08nkhflyback-: uhum, thank you. previous time I waited long and nobody respond at all
06:28.09nkh:)
06:29.12flyback-good luck
06:29.28nkhthanks, you too
06:43.16nkh!help
06:43.23nkhibot: help
07:02.18Russthere is a tool to search for things in images
07:02.22Russshouldn't be too hard to google
07:02.38Russibot, are you a bot?
07:02.58nkhI did
07:03.45nkhbut the problem is that I can't understand why the offsets in bootargs and size of real partition does not match , and it works!
