Btw you can simply boot from 3 partitions. Uboot can boot NAND, FAT<br>
+mmcblk0p2 and if you put noboot-GTA02 in that partition, Qi can boot<br>
from mmcblk0p3.<br></blockquote><div><br>As I understand it Qi does this:<br>1: try to boot from 1st SD card partition<br>2: try to boot from 2nd SD card partition<br>3. try to boot from 3rd SD card partition<br>4. try to boot from NAND (aka built-in flash)<br>
<br>My SD card partition layout looks like this<br></div></div>p1 - vfat data partition (only data, nothing else)<br>p2 - ext3 primary partition, this is my main os. Currently holds QtMoko v8)<br>
p3 - this is aother ext3 primary partition, for me to keep a backup os on. Currently, it holds a copy of QtMoko v8.<br>p4 - swap, 128Megs<br><br clear="all"><br>But - when I put a noboot-GTA02 file in /boot on p2, Qi just stops. It doesn't boot anything, not even the NAND.<br>
I have to boot from NOR U-boot, select NAND and from there I mount p2 and remove the noboot file.<br>(BTW, my NAND contains an old Om2008 image.)<br>-- <br>Regards,<br>Torfinn Ingolfsen<br>
