commands

flasher-3.0-static

examples

getting flasher to talk to the n800

• turn the n800 off

• connect the usb cable

• run a flasher command, like "flasher-3.0-static --query-root-device"

• the command will say it is searching for a suitable usb device

• hold down the lower right-side physical button on the n800 then press the power button

• this causes the upper right side physical button to glow and as the device boots, it established the usb connection to flasher. Flasher will print the root device.

• at this point additional flasher commands will work

switching to internal mmc boot device with developer image

• format the mmc with "fdisk" and "mkfs -t ext2" on a linux PC in a SD card reader

• untar the desired root filesystem onto it.

• replace the mmc card in the n800

• boot the n800 with the usb cable so that flasher can work with it.

• run "flasher-3.0-static --set-root-device mmc"

• reboot the n800

• you can switch it back with "flasher-3.0-static --set-root-device flash"
