[Avila] problem with updating flash from Linux

[Ahmet Basagalar]

Hi,

I am running into problems while updating flash from Linux. I have compiled 
Redboot without checksum control, so that is not an issue anymore. But when 
I do a kernel upgrade using 'netflash' in Linux sometimes it works and 
sometimes it does not, meaning redboot tries to load the kernel but system 
just hangs as if it is a corrupt kernel. The same happens for the 
filesystem, when I upgrade it by 'netflash' sometimes I got error messages 
during mount. Updating flash through redboot works fine.

This is a big headache for us right now. We are planning to deploy the 
product but we can not upgrade the firmware remotely due to this issue and 
that is holding us. Any help will be appreciated. Is there a more reliable 
tool that I can use? Or should I tweak something in netflash for proper 
operation? Any other alternatives to updating flash through Linux?

Regards,
Ahmet B.
