How to use the system

Power on

Just press the power button to boot the kernel from NAND flash.

If you want to boot the kernel from SD card, press Fn + Left-Shift before powering up and keep it pressed until the penguin appears (approx. 1 second). If you want to load the root-file system from SD card as well, keep the keys pressed until the init process has started.

WARNING: Don't press Fn + Left-Shift + Ctrl to boot!

This will copy the 2.6 kernel into the NAND flash and afterwards, you can't boot from NAND to the original system. To recover from such a mistake, please refer to http://download.goldelico.com/letux-400-jtag/

Boot Modifier Keys (this is a feature of the 2.6.24.3 kernel)

You can press these keys right before pressing the power button. But you have approx. 5 seconds time left after the penguin appears.

  • F1: boot from first SD partition (/dev/mmcblk0p1, ext3)
  • F2: boot from second SD partition (/dev/mmcblk0p2, ext3)
  • F3: boot minifs from internal partition (/dev/mtdblock3, jffs2)
  • F4: boot from internal partition (/dev/mtdblock4, yaffs2)
  • Fn: boot from second SD partition (/dev/mmcblk0p2, ext3) (kernel was booted from SD on Fn + LeftShift)
  • none: boot from internal partition (/dev/mtdblock4, yaffs2)
