U-Boot, partition layout and flash

[jad]

I am also looking for the next steps on assembling the pieces after grabbing the SDK and compiling.  Here is what I am seeing from adb connected via the network. Is there more than just dd'ing the products from out/target/product/tulip-t1 or is there some script that I am missing and not running.

I wonder if part of the solution might be found here:
http://linux-sunxi.org/Boot_Android_from...to_SD_card

So far, I haven't done much other than:

source build/envsetup.sh
make clean
lunch tulip_t1-eng
mka

Any hints would be appreciated. I am missing a big conceptional piece somewhere.  

I guess I will use the loop dev next and see what I can see from the linux side.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
