What is upslug2
upslug2 is a command line program intended to allow the upgrade of a LinkSys NSLU2 firmware to new or different versions. Unlike upslug and the LinkSys (Sercomm) upgrade utilities, upslug2 will synthesise a complete ‘image’ from a kernel and a root file system, as such it duplicates part of the functionality of ‘slugimage’. upslug2 also optimizes the upload to avoid transmitted parts of the image which need not be written or are ‘blank’ (set to the erased flash value of all 1’s).
