RE: [Ltib] NBOOT command and kernel boot

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Tom,

Can you try applying this patch to bin/Ltibutils.pm, I think this may
make the filesystem padding option work in LTIB (look in Target Image
Generation / Options / Allocate extra space (Kbytes)

If not, try modifying the lines that get patched by the attachment (the
mkfs.jffs2 line).  Maybe the options are not exactly right.

Regards, Stuart
