[answered] Upgrading UBIT

[tomcheng76]

Hi,
I was using ubit 0.3 long time ago, i would like to install 0.6 so that i can install archlinux in the device...
can i follow the step here ? http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5 ... goflex-net
Download the U-Boot Install Toolkit (UBIT) environment
cd /tmp
wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/goflex/v0.6/uInitrd
wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/goflex/v0.6/ubit_start
chmod +x ubit_start
Start the UBIT environment where the prompt will read: ubit0-6:~#
./ubit_start
Update the U-Boot bootloader and move a copy of the OE U-Boot into unused NAND memory:
chain_install goflexnet
chain_revert
uboot_uptodate

The instruction is written for a "factory" goflex net, so i want to confirm before trying to "brick" the device...

Thanks

You might check Jeff's forums, that's where UBIT talk goes on. I'm not sure if there is anything special you need to upgrade to 0.6, and I'm wary to suggest anything. You should be able to install ALARM on your device even with 0.3 though, the mechanics are still the same. Should just be able to extract onto a drive, label the partition, and boot into it.
