Firmware update howto
The following are the command line entries to update the firmware on the OpenBlockS. If you have the Web Setup Tool installed, you can also update from the Web interface.
Writing to the FlashROM
With the following command, you can write a new firmware version to the flash ROM.
# flashcfg -f uImage.initrd
Writing to a Compact Flash card
No special command is necessary. Format the CF card as ext3/ext2, and copy the data on the first partition.
If you are using a CF card with only one partition:
# cp uImage.initrd-cfboot /
When using a CF card split into 2 partitions, /boot and / (root)
* /boot is the first partition
# cp uImage.initrd-cfboot /boot/
