Is it possbile to use https://github.com/yifanlu/Fastboot-Kindle in order to boot a custom kernel from USB (aka without flashing it?) I tried './fastboot boot uBoot' and './fastboot boot vmlinux', but I think it just booted (after downloading) the normal kernel:
Btw './fastboot flash kernel' worked fine.
I saw the thread "How-to: Booting U-Boot and Linux over USB", but I think activating the "Serial Download Protocol" (SDP) would require me to unscrew the board again, which I would like to avoid if possible. (Also I wasn't able to find TM401, only "TM501 BOOT_0", see here, nor CR501 here).
I feel like erasing the first 128kB of mmcblk0boot0 is not the safest method/idea, even though it might would work out all just fine!
Thanks!
