>Isn't there a way to redo the same setup?
Find the package archive on web, it exists,,, OR
In /var/cache/pacman/pkg/uboot-p* I see 6 uboots one is bsp
Earliest mainline is jul31 .....07-1
I am still on original,, 2019,, I have only a 16M dump as backup (but actually that is easier)
But you probably don't have more than 1 or 2
Actually dolphin will offer to install !!! or you can do cmd line way instead
2 gotcha's,,
1st, make a backup of extlinux.conf FIRST,, some change it, wrongly, (LABEL=......)
2nd, only puts them, 2 or 3 files into boot, you have to dd
You can "pull" the archive apart, with a little permission difficulty. put them wherever, which ver is best?
You will have to experiment and find out
("ark" is not capable of dealing with a xz'd tar, so expand 1st, then use ark, it still had to be w/ sudo???)
FWIW
