== Dissecting a uRamdisk ==

In update packages, ramdisk.img is renamed to /boot/uRamdisk.

{{{#!highlight sh
# Skip 64-byte header
dd if=ramdisk.img bs=64 skip=1 of=ramdisk.gz
# Uncompress
gunzip ramdisk.gz
# Extract
mkdir ramdisk
cd ramdisk
cpio -iv < ../ramdisk
}}}

Once modifications are made, you can recreate the image:

{{{#!highlight sh
find . -regex "./.*"| cpio -ov -H newc | gzip > ../ramdisk.gz
mkimage -A ARM -T RAMDisk -n Image -d ../ramdisk.gz ../uRamdisk
}}}
