Unable to Flash Root File System - Error 60

[Markku]

I'm not able to flash my Neo Freerunner root file system. I'm using Mac OS 10.5.4, and using the OpenMoko Flasher 1.4 to try to flash it. I'm able to flash kernels fine, but when I try to flash the root file system (I'm trying to flash it with OM2008.8.rootfs.jffs2, I get the following errors:

On the FreeRunner (while in uBoot):
Starting DFU DOWNLOAD to partition "factory"
End of write exceeds partition end

In the flash app:
Opening USB Device 0x0000:0x0000...
Found Runtime: [0x1d50:0x5119] devnum=0, cfg=0, intf=0, alt=5, name="factory"

dfuIDLE, continuing
Transfer Size = 0x1000
bytes_per_hash=1431306
Starting download: [dfu_download error -60
Error during download

Any ideas why I'm not able to flash the root file system?
I've tried flashing it both from the NOR and the NAND uboot menu.

PS I can't get run dfu-util provided with OpenMoko Flasher to run from Terminal ... -bash: dfu-util: command not found

Use "-a rootfs" on the dfu-util command line.  You're writing to the
wrong partition.

Here is how I do it:

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Applications/OpenMoko\ Flasher\ 1.2.app/Contents/
MacOS/../Resources/ /Applications/OpenMoko\ Flasher\ 1.2.app/Contents/
MacOS/dfu-util -a 5 -R -D  openmoko-image.jffs2

(All on one line, careful of spaces in the path ..)

Please advise people to use '-a rootfs' instead of '-a 5', since -a 5
will break the next time that Openmoko decides to change the mtd layout
(as did happen between GTA01 and GTA02).

It is installed as part of the .app bundle of the OpenMoko Flasher  
application, so substitute my path with yours to that .app ..

This command can be copied from the Console log after using the  
"Flash" button (even if no device is connected).

BTW: the currently latest release is 1.4 (Universal Binary) @ http://www.handheld-linux.com/wiki.php?page=Openmoko%20Flasher

Ah, that explains everything.

Does someone have a good list of all allowed values of -a? And, are  
they the same between GTA01 and GTA02?

Please test this version if it works correctly before I make it  
official:

        http://www.dsitri.de/download/OpenMoko%20Flasher-1.4.1.tgz

And what would be nice is if someone can send me a list of current  
repositories for GTA01 and GTA02 that you would like to see  
preinstalled.

Nikolaus

At least the following are:

u-boot, kernel, rootfs

Thanks for the help with getting dfu-util working in Terminal on the
Mac. Is anyone currently managing the Mac OS X page in the wiki. These
better instructions for running dfu-util should be posted. I'll
volunteer to update it and a couple other things if no one is currently
keeping that page up to date.

Well it was mostly me :-) During 1973 ages. Plus some others who  
updated networking issues.

But feel free to add things. It is a Community Wiki...

Marcus,

I'll echo what Nikolaus says and much stronger: It is a wiki, and
depends on community input. Your experience will help us, so thanks for
volunteering. We do have quite a number of Mac users who will appreciate
your work.

Thanks,
Michael
