I am *noobish* when it comes to medium to advanced linux features. Related to this post
viewtopic.php?f=40&t=8889&start=30 could anyone provide a guide on how to extract / mount a kernel partition after it was dumped. I am trying to learn and understand the basics if anyone has time to reply.
To recap, I did a simple: "cat /dev/mmcblk0p6 > /tmp/uImage1.bin"
Thank you

Ahh. Thought it is a normal compressed image. I did try mkimage -l to look at header and try to unpack it from U-boot - tools but got a corrupted image.
Again I am junior so I apologize if this sounds noobish.
Anyway if you get anything new I can try let me know.
Thank you again for all the hard work

It's not compressed

And nothing to mount

You simply "open" it

Ok. That "open" for my level of knowledge is very cryptic. I am sure is not a double click haha. Joking. But never mind, I will figure it out somehow... i need to learn anyway. And I don't want to keep you away from trying to find ways to hack the Golf.P model....
Thanks

Well if you have your computer (correctly ) setup to open .bin files. Then yes it is enought to "double click"

Better test my new module
