Last week I opened my Zaurus SL-7500C and replaced the Flash chip with a K9F1G08UOM. (My original chip is also K9F... the only difference is the capacity).
I carefully checked the pins to make sure they are properly connected. Then I booted to the Service Menu using Fn+D+M. The up-right corner of Sevice Menu shows "SL-C760". But the chip wasn't properly recognized. Clicking on the version list gave me the following information: CPU: PXA255 A0 Board: c760 Serial No: 00000b0d ROM Checksum: bca1 RAM Size: 65536KB NAND modules(0MB) unknown[unknown] I tried all the NAND Flash related command (NAND restore and NAND Full Erase) in the service menu and they all gave me an "Error -2". Restoring NAND backup or installing U-Boot didn't work either. I can't put back my original chip because I damaged it when I removed it. (There must be some glue under the chip.) So basically my 7500 is dead. I heard that somebody has successfully upgraded their Flash chip. So maybe he can share his experience with me. I'd be very appreciated. |

The 3100 schematic definitely provides for JTAG wired to behave as scholbert says: holding pin 13 high remaps 5 as TDI, 6 as TMS, 7 as TDO, 14 as TCK.
Unfortunately it looks like all the components in that circuit have been left off the production board, as one of albertr's nice highres photos of the board shows unpopulated chip positions right where I'd expect to see the two TC7WB66FK bus select chips, and the schematic has all the components in that part of the circuit marked as "OPEN".

Hi pelrun,
great information. I thought it would be like that. I just quoted your posting in the C1000/3x00 Hardware section. Just for completion of the information about the I/O connector. I hope it's O.K. for you that way! Perhaps this could be very helpful to those who are interested in upgrading flash or (un)bricking their device completely  !Greets, scholbert |
