Hi,
I have a 6 MB partition on the flash for the ramdisk image. I am using only
2.8 MB at the moment. I am doing the initial load through redboot command
line and everything works. But when I want to upgrade the ramdisk image
through linux by using netflash the following issue happens:
If I upgrade an image that is larger than 2.8 MB then in the next reboot the
system does not boot. It is because "fis load" command does not load the
additional data to the memory. I have verified this by using memory dump in
redboot CLI. So let us say if I upgraded an image that is 3.0 MB then only
2.8 MB portion of it is loaded in the memory and the rest is not loaded.
I do not know how to fix this issue. You would expect it to copy all the 6
MB of the flash since the image is defined to be 6 MB long but apparently it
is not doing that. There should be another parameter that needs to be set I
believe.
Thanks,
Ahmet
