"hwpack" means a "hardware-specific package".

Latest hwpacks for various Allwinner devices are available from:

Updating an SD-card with u-boot from a hwpack
Extract the downloaded hwpack file: tar -xf *_hwpack.tar.xz

u-boot consists of two files in the bootloader directory:


 * sunxi-spl.bin
 * u-boot.bin

You will need to write them into fixed areas of your SD-card: dd if=sunxi-spl.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=1024 seek=8 dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=1024 seek=32 ...where /dev/sdX is your SD card (make sure you use the correct device name here).
