Title: Nand Loader Outputs On Serial Cable
Post by: gjarboni on January 30, 2005, 11:37:10 am

WARNING! This sort of thing could easily brick your C3000.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Aha! If you plug the serial cable and into the Zaurus and reboot you see the following on the serial console:

NAND LOADER ... in NAND

Neither break nor Ctrl-C have any effect on the boot process. Maybe this screen would give some useful information if your C3000 is bricked? Any ideas?

The CE-170TS. It's the serial cable for the 5500 and it's available on Amazon (and other places).

COMMANDLINE= console=ttyS0

That's why - it's just debugging output.

I presume that cable gets plugged into the 'Service Port' at the back of the Z..?
