Unbricking Plug Computers
This week's Linux Planet article continues my Plug Computing part 1 from two weeks ago. This week, I cover the all-important issue of "unbricking": what to do when you mess something up and the plug doesn't boot any more. Which happens quite a lot when you're getting started with plugs.Here it is: Un-Bricking Linux Plug Computers: uBoot, iBoot, We All Boot for uBoot.
If you want more exhaustive detail, particular on those uBoot scripts and how they work, I go through some of the details in a brain-dump I wrote after two weeks of struggling to unbrick my first GuruPlug: Building and installing a new kernel for a SheevaPlug. But don't worry if that page isn't too clear; I'll cover the kernel-building part more clearly in my next LinuxPlanet article on Feb. 24.
