UBIT Noob Question

[Hardworking]

Hello All,

Sorry to post what may seem like a Noob question, but I can't find the info I am looking for.

I (guided by a mate) setup a GoFlex Net by following the install instructions from this site and the system is working brilliantly! I don't have a lot of experience with Linux, but I am learning fast.

My question is though... My install was some time ago (October last year) and there no mention of the UBIT section. So I am wondering if I need to do anything to my system, and/or am I missing something vital.

This entire section below was not in the instructions I followed to get my system running. Any advice here would be great.


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

If you set things up using the site instructions last October, you installed UBIT. There's nothing you need to do extra, that is just a U-Boot replacement. Doesn't require any user maintenance or updating.

It's been nearly a year since we've had any instructions posted for the GoFlex Net that didn't use UBIT. UBIT was originally conceived for the GFN. Basically, if you are (or can) boot from SATA, you're using UBIT.

The steps get tweaked from time to time very slightly to avoid potential issues, reordered occasionally, but like I said the UBIT-using instructions have been the standard for about a year. Don't worry, you're fine.
