Use fastboot to boot from USB?
Is it possbile to use https://github.com/yifanlu/Fastboot-Kindle in order to boot a custom kernel from USB (aka without flashing it?) I tried './fastboot boot uBoot' and './fastboot boot vmlinux', but I think it just booted (after downloading) the normal kernel:
Code:
downloading done ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 80800000 ... Image Name: Linux-3.0.35-lab126 Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) Data Size: 3143456 Bytes = 3 MB Load Address: 80008000 Entry Point: 80008000 Verifying Checksum ... OK Loading Kernel Image ... OK OK I saw the thread "How-to: Booting U-Boot and Linux over USB", but I think activating the "Serial Download Protocol" (SDP) would require me to unscrew the board again, which I would like to avoid if possible. (Also I wasn't able to find TM401, only "TM501 BOOT_0", see here, nor CR501 here). I feel like erasing the first 128kB of mmcblk0boot0 is not the safest method/idea, even though it might would work out all just fine! Thanks! |
