Another Dead Simpad Options

[Psymosh]

When i bought the simpad, there was opie in it, and i want'd Windows CE, so I followed instructions in http://opensimpad.org/index.php/Linux#Rein...mens_bootloader

After i typed "load flash 0" i sended via ymed Pbl-simpad-1.0.tar.gz

And i did get something same like that.

boot> set override = 1
setting param <override> to value <1>
boot> pflash 0 0x40000 0
addr=00000000
len=00040000

done.
boot>

Then i reseted simpad with reset button on the back, and now it doesent turn on, sometimes it will but blank screen, and i must keep power putton down.

What happened?

I did have hell lot of time to get the parts for the lumberg/serial connector and now, all for nothing.

E: Is this kind of jtag cable compatible without modification?

So, now i have soldered things like that and have the jtag cable. http://opensimpad.org/index.php/Image:Afters.jpg

But i cannot make-out anything from http://opensimpad.org/index.php/JTAG_HOWTO#Software_2
So can somebody help me and tell me ALL the steps, and downloads i have to do to get JTAG installed correctly.
E:Im using Windows XP
I have newer used linux, and now i should run somekind of emulator without exacting instructions

Thanks!

E:Now i have also ubuntu on my use , so if its easyer to install JTAG on ubuntu please tell me exactly introductions

Hi,

ubuntu ist the right way.

First read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware about install software.

Then you need openwince-jtag 0.5.1 http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/embedded/openwince-jtag.

Next your pc-machine need parallel port and modules for your kernel (ppdev or parport).

Then you should follow the the guide from http://opensimpad.org/index.php/JTAG_HOWTO#Flash_Procedure.

You must open a terminal (xterm console) and write "jtag" to start the procedure (also your bootloader should live
in the same path were jtag-tools started.

-> simpadSL.rom for SIMpad SL4/SLC

-> simpadCL.rom for SIMpad CL4/others

Psymosh, if you be able to jtag your simpad I would be happy if you could add some jtag descripion for linux newbies to the opensimpad.org wiki .
If you need more help for it just ask.

Hi there,

i think its very wel for linux noobs to use cygwin for jtagging the simpad. I did for myself on WinXP with cygwin and its working perfect. If somebody is interested i will upload the cygwin install folder to RS.

Btw, i m looking for a cnet 4.2 image or rom backup for my simpad.
