Package: u-boot-sunxi Version: 2016.11+dfsg1-4 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
in file /usr/share/doc/u-boot-sunxi/README.Debian please, the following command is suggested to install U-Boot: dd if=/usr/lib/u-boot/BOARD/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/mmcblkX bs=1024 seek=8 If the command is applied to a file image the image is truncated. If the disk is unmounted directly after the command the change may be lost due to missing synchronization. I suggest to change the line to dd if=/usr/lib/u-boot/BOARD/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin \ conv=fsync,notrunc of=/dev/mmcblkX bs=1024 seek=8 conv=fsync ensures that the disk is synchronized before it is unmounted. conv=notrunc ensures that if 'of' is pointing to an image it is not truncated. Best regards Heinrich Schuchardt
