SIMpad forum / Bootloader Problem

« on: February 14, 2006, 04:02:38 pm »

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

Is this a hardware problem? A JTAG solvable problem?

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.

SIMpad forum / Bootloader Problem

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?
