Ok, 64 is better than 32 :) > > How can I upgrade APEX?

I've compiled my own apex in the nslu2 with default options but size differs (mine is 48.968 bytes vs 49.096) > You should be able to flash those directly into the appropriate mtd > partition (make sure it's not the RedBoot partition, or else you'll > permanently brick your device).

I prefer to try and make it manually. In the CompileApex page of the nslu2 wiki talks about creating the file like this: (size of apex.bin in decimal 49096 = BFC8 in hexadecimal) # printf '\x00\x00\xBF\xC8\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' > bfc8.bin (should'n be \xC8\xBF because of little-endian?) # cat bfc8.bin apex.bin > new_mtd2.bin # cat new_mtd2.bin > /dev/mtd2 But also talks about padding with \xff before the last 'cat'. Padding to what size? Thanks -- Asier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
