i personally do my backups with "cp"<br>
<br>
cp /dev/mtdblock6 /media/card/rootfs<br>
and vice versa.<br>
<br>
#blocksave.sh<br>
#!/bin/sh -x<br>
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 ; do echo cp /dev/mtdblock$i ${i}_* ; cp
/dev/mtdblock$i ${i}_* ; done<br>
<br>
# blockrestore.sh<br>
#!/bin/sh -x<br>
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 ; do echo cp ${i}_* /dev/mtdblock$i ; cp ${i}_*
/dev/mtdblock$i ; done<br>
<br>
and in practice, this works for backup _and_ restore<br>

I always flash my kernel and rootfs from NAND u-boot menu.<br>

To flash something via USB cable with dfu-util you have to be in the<br>
NOR boot menu. But it's totally legal to reflash /dev/mtd1 (u-boot),<br>
mtd2 (u-boot_env) or mtd3 (kernel) when you have booted into the<br>
rootfs in NAND. When you've booted from sd-card, you can reflash mtd6<br>
(rootfs) too. Use flash_eraseall and nand_write for this.<br>
<br>
Writing to /dev/mtd0 (NOR boot) is possible without debug board too,<br>
you need need to enable write access to it. See<br>
