A faster way to do this is to use the "boot_flash" macro.

NOR Flash

Use the following commands if you have NOR Flash (similar to booting from NAND).

#setenv bootargs console=...

ip=$(ipaddr):$(serverip)::$(netmask):2440:eth0:off root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=jffs2

#cp.b <start flash> <load_addr> <kernel_image_size>

#bootm <load_addr>

A faster way to do this is to use the "boot_flash" macro.

USB

It is possible to load a kernel image from a USB storage device. Copy the kernal to the FAT partition of the USB device.

Copy the kernal to the USB stick.

The commands update_kernel_usb and guu are provided.

Enter the following to copy the kernel from the USB stick to the memory.

#run guu

The image can now be executed with the bootm command.

There is also a macro for boot_usb which does both steps. It is run boot_usb.

# run boot_usb
