Yesterday I was testing the new opie images, everything was ok until I pressed the opie poweroff button.
After that all I get when trying to boot is a infinite loop while scanning the flash. Any hints on how to get the simpad back to work?

I can't get to the boot> prompt.
My minicom settings are ok, the simpad doesn't answer to any keypress. I will try to open the simpad and disconnect the battery. |

Tonight I finally had some free time so I opened the Simpad, diconnected the battery, shorted the battery connector pins (as in http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=13497) but still the same output:

A JTAG solvable problem? |
