[ptxdist] mini6410: Need equivalent tool for sdflasher.exe on Linux

Hi all,

   I tried wine emulator to run sdflasher.exe to detect my sdcard, but 
not able to detect sdcard on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx - 
released in April 2010 development computer.
I tried dd to program my super-boot into sdcard. But mini6410 fails to 
detects it.

But if i program through sdflasher.exe in windows, it works great. So, 
what sdflasher.exe actually does ?
  Will that part of code is available for linux users ?

Thanks and regards,
Ananth.

Hi Ananth,

as this question is more Mini6410 related than about the buildsystem PTXdist 
please use the oselas@community.pengutronix.de mailing list instead.

Same here.

No, it does not work in this way.

Writing the super-boot partially at specific sectors on the SD card, where the 
CPU-built-in ROM code expect it. If you want, I can send you the Samsung 
documentation that describes how to write specific sectors on the SD card to 
make it boot.

Yes it is part in our Mini6410-BSP. But currently only for the u-boot 
bootloader instead of the superboot. And the BSP documentation describes how 
to prepare an SD card and use it to boot the Mini6410.

Juergen
