Hi, All
Android team now has tools for updating the kernel related files without recreating the sdcard. The detail information about the tools is described here: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/KernelUpdateTools
And here just list some examples: 1. update all the kernel related files with boot.tar.bz2 ./update-android.sh out/target/product/pandaboard/boot.tar.bz2
2. only update one file that will be in the boot.tar.bz2 when packaged, Like board.dtb/uImage/cmdline ./update-android.sh out/target/product/pandaboard/boot/board.dtb ./update-android.sh out/target/product/pandaboard/boot/uImage ./update-android.sh out/target/product/pandaboard/boot/cmdline
3. update all kernel modules. ./update-android.sh out/target/product/pandaboard/obj/kernel
4. update files in uInitrd ./update-uInitrd.sh /tmp/init.rc this will replace the /ini.rc file in uInitrd with the passed /tmp/init.rc
Hope these tools will be helpful during your development of android. Any comments/suggestion, please feel free to send to me.
