SIMpad forum / Can't Flash Simpad With Jtag
« on: February 14, 2006, 07:14:40 pm »
Hi there!
After hours of trying to reflash the rom of my simpad (including lots of soldering and cable building, according to the brilliant howto from opensimpad.org) i'm stuck.
jtag recognizes the cable and identifies the cpu correctly (SA1110).
But detectflash does not seem to identify the flash memory.
Here is the output of jtag:
Does this mean my simpad is finally and completely dead? Or is there still hope?
btw, I'm on Debian Linux, but the error was reproducable on Gentoo Linux and Cygwin under Windows XP.
