Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 5500 Dead?

« on: February 10, 2006, 05:16:16 pm »

Hello,

I don't remeber which OZ version was it when this happened.
So far I have tried GPE 3.5.2, 3.5.3 (zImage 32/32) and it seems whichever I try OZ logo appears and a blinking cursor beneath it. Only OSPACK gives totally black screen.
Pulling the battery out and disconnecting the ac adapter for a couple of minutes gives same results.

Is there a way for me to find out where the boot process fails and why flashing takes only ~1 minute? I'd send Z to Sharp by now if it was an option...

Thank you all for your support.

Update:

I have tried putting tKrom 2.0 (initrd.bin) and flashing still takes ~1 min., but I get OZ logo again and its hanging there...

Putting zImage and initrd.bin from old version of OZ gives the same results.
Shouldn't flashing take ~3 mins?

Tnx

Thanks for your replies,

The file is OSPACK (the only file on a 256MB FAT16 CF I used to flash succesfully before)
and it is 16.777.216 bytes (16.384 KB). File is in CF root, no other files/folders there.

The power cord is always plugged in while flashing - indicated by the orange battery icon.

While flashing both green and orange leds are lit for about one minute (used to be more than 1 minute before).

Once both leds go off, i reset the unit, put cover on battery and put unit in normal operation mode.

When turned on, battery led goes off and thats about it

I have just tried that and I'm unable to power Z on.
Once I power it up, battery light go off, screen remains unlit.

Flashing now takes ~ 1 minute and I remember it taking a bit longer normally. As if it is not flashing it completely.

Thanks for any help.

Hi, after OZ/GPE flash i get stucked with OZ logo on top (nothing after that...).
D+P shows Boot Flag 3.13, CF/RAM/battery tests seem ok.

Any hope / hints on whats going on/how to revive Z?
Tnx
