- 04:12 PM FPGA Development: RE: Critical link bit file
- Actually John,
 you shouldn't need to reprogram the NAND/root filesystem. Only the kernel. The NAND should still ...
- 04:10 PM FPGA Development: RE: Critical link bit file
- Right.  The procedure you just ran only reloads the bootloader images.  
 You will also need to reload the kernel i...
