How to make a minor javascript change

[padukes]

Hi,

I'd like to test out a minor javascript change. Do I need to rebuild the entire firmware or is there a way I can simply update the one file I want to test?

Thanks!

The flash is read-only, you cannot modify its content.

However, you can mount bind a file on top of another one. If for example you modify state.js, put the modified copy in /jffs, then mount bind it:

mount -o bind /jffs/state.js /www/state.js

From then on (until next reboot), the web server will use your modified copy. You can also keep modifying it while it's already mounted.
