 Tested  on Marvell EspressoBinBoard based on MVEBU, (see [[https://forum.openwrt.org/t/is-it-possible-to-flash-u-boot-from-openwrt/90284|forum topic]])
 Download ''flash-image.bin'' for your specific hardware from [[https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/mvebu/cortexa53/|SnapShots]]
-(it's not safe to do so, here is for demonstration purpose only), then write ''flash-image.bin'' to a MTD partition labeled as ''spi0.0'' (could be ''mtd0'') and reboot afterwards :
+You can checks your mtd partitions from proc :

+mtd0: 003f0000 00010000 "firmware"

-This patches the mtd source to include the "-static" optin when building the binary. This way the binary gets all dependent library-code embedded to make it run itself, as long as the correct CPU-target is used. The new binary can be extracted from the resulting package or just copied from ''build_dir/target-<ARCH>/linux-<TARGET>-<SUBTARGET>/mtd''.
