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
