This is how I use kwboot:
1. Boot your board (with stock U-Boot and Linux) and extract the bootloader.
According to my notes, I just grabbed a couple megabytes:
$ dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/mtd0.dump bs=1M count=2
I guess you can grab the entire bootloader partition (if you have one).
2. Run kwbimage tool and dump the output to the appropriate board directory:
$ ./scripts/kwbimage -x -i /srv/nfs/mtd0.dump -o arch/arm/boards/plathome-openblocks-ax3/
Fix the produced kwbimage.cfg to boot from UART (actually, I think it's not needed):
diff --git a/arch/arm/boards/plathome-openblocks-ax3/kwbimage.cfg b/arch/arm/boards/plathome-openblocks-ax3/kwbimage.cfg
index 219c2ec..fd6c0df 100644
--- a/arch/arm/boards/plathome-openblocks-ax3/kwbimage.cfg
+++ b/arch/arm/boards/plathome-openblocks-ax3/kwbimage.cfg
@@ -1,5 +1,5 @@
VERSION 1
-BOOT_FROM spi
+BOOT_FROM uart
DESTADDR 00600000
EXECADDR 006b0000
NAND_BLKSZ 00000000
3. Make your barebox
$ make
4. Run kwboot and have fun!
$ ./scripts/kwboot -b images/barebox-plathome-openblocks-ax3.img -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0
After kwboot transfers the image, it starts a terminal. You don't need to open another one,
and close everything listening on ttyUSB0 or kwboot won't work fine. It should take less
than a minute to transfer the image.
This works for me on every mvebu board I have, but it was a major pain at first :/
