Will start having a look at LDR; am intrigued by the "Linux start-up params (Any key to edit)" line, and want to see if this is telling the truth (i.e. the params could be edited without requiring a PARMS reflash).
Matt just to save you a little time:
DSI_printf("Linux start-up params (Any key to edit)\r\n");
// Lets start by letting the user Edit this command line // edited=getcmd(startup_string,sizeof(startup_string),0x00346000);
cmd_line=startup_string; while(*cmd_line!='\0' && *cmd_line!=' ' && *cmd_line!='\t') cmd_line++; // find end of first string ....
The fact is that the fact you see that message is simply an error from an older version of LDR where we used to make it easy for ourselves to be able to manually change the PARMS. The call to getcmd() (but unfortunatelly not the printf() ) in the source is now commented so there's no way it's going to be of any use to you. I'm sure a disassembly will confirm that the next thing after that printf() is the code for the "cmd_line=startup_string;"

Cliff,
Many thanks for pointing that out -- it's a big help, I appreciate it.
I can duly redirect the time towards getting reflashing working... :)
Regards,
Matt
