Hi all, I've done a backup by cwm of boot partition of my Archos Gen10 80XS(K): so I have a 16M boot.img file...
I would to unpack it and "edit" to make a bootable linux (gentoo, debian or others (what??))... It's first time that I work to hack arm embedded devices, so it is accepted any suggestion about this topic (links, books, etc).
Is very difficult to have a windows machine at home, so: is there anyone that knows gnu/linux tools to unpack boot.img files?
I tried a perl script (http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/71999061e9ebd9a937940b00a8f4fdf0/5134a9dc/8/8/4/9/5/9/xperiaboottools.zip) but:
# perl split_bootimg.pl boot.img
Android Magic not found in boot.img. Giving up.

the boot.img dumped via adb can be unpacked using dsixda tool for cooking firmwares, but you will ned to flash`it back, using adb !!!
as for the proper boot.img provided in the firmware you need
