deleting bootcmd boot argument
Hello friends,
Currently iam facing with a problem on OMAP 2430.
The problem is as follows:
- I have set the u-boot environment variable "bootcmd" with the booting
address of Kernel from flash
i.e. setenv bootcmd bootm 0x04060000.
- I have also set one more u-boot environment variable "bootdelay" to 0
i.e. set bootdelay 0
Due to these settings as soon as the board is switched ON, the linux
kernel from flash address
is getting booted automatically through U-boot.
Now, iam not able to boot the linux kernel from TFTP server.
Even iam not able to set the following TFTP boot arguments:
i.e. setenv bootargs
set server ip
because the kernel from flash gets booted automatically.
Now, i wanna delete the bootcmd environment variable. May i know how can
i delete it so that i can set these TFTP boot arguments??
Thanks in advance,
Sanjiv

I'm trying to implement a way to update file (remotely) that resides

best way to do this is to update the entire compressed filesystem in
flash through some user level app.
Since the bootloader does not exist as far as the kernel is concern
(once the kernel is decompressed), I figure their's only two other
alternatives: reboot and enter some update mode, or a user app.
My questions are, Do I need to give the app some special permission to
be able to write to flash? Or is this a good approach at all? Is their
an already existing method to do this sort of thing?
Any thoughts on the subject will be appreciated. I'm on an ARM9
platform with 2.6 kernel.
What is the root filesystem? Isn't it the flash? If not, what about
mounting the flash and using tradish methods for manipulating files?
Something like..
mount -tjffs2 /dev/mtdblock{0..X} /mnt
...Assuming there is a filesystem there on the partition you want to
access and it's a Linux filesystem...
You would probably need to be root.
Anyways, before you get shot down, it is frowned upon to post to two
different lists, and please wrap your lines of text at 70 chars.
