Bootburn

Bootburn is a shell script that:

• Boots the device in the recovery-mode with RAMDisk
• Signs or generates the images on the host
• Transfers the images to target using ADB
• Flashes the boards

Bootburn automatically resizes the rootfs image on the target to optimize the available storage on the partition dedicated to it, either on eMMC or NOR.

Bootburn supports a host NFS share as the mount point for the target rootfs. This feature provides a convenient way for developers to copy files between the target and host for rapid development. In this case, the uncompressed target rootfs directory on the host is leveraged directly by the target.

Bootburn relies on the Foundation services to provide the flashing and boot loader functionality. You configure it with the CFG file rather than with Bootburn command-line parameters; Bootburn supports limited command line options.
