Yes, I'd recommend not putting information in DT that can be easily extracted from the partition table on the device itself.
The problem is that neither the format of the BCT nor that of the PT is documented anywhere. It seems like the BCT contains a reference to where in the flash the PT starts but I wasn't able to find out where.
I have filed an internal bug to request this information be added to the TRM. We will see what happens.
Actually I'd need more than those three partitions. I need at least five, optimally six. In addition to BCT, PT and EBT I need one for the uImage and the root filesystem.
Oh I see; you're mingling the boot flash and filesystem into a single memory device. It simpler (but I imagine more costly) not too:-)
As I said before, the biggest problem with updating the whole content is that there's no documentation about either the BCT or the PT. There's cbootimage on gitorious that has some information about the BCT, but it's incomplete.
Out of curiosity, what's missing from cbootimage?
