have i killed my box ?

[Big Ted]

do the jumpers have to be in place when grounding flash reset ?

[Big Ted]

tried without the jumpers still the same, tried with the jumpers still the same.

Bah

[Big Ted]

Still not switched off, any more ideas anybody ???

Thanks
Ted

[PT-1]

That was what I was missing ;-)

Cheers DieMade and Gurgel !!

PT-1

[Big Ted]

is there a way to verify what has been written or erased, so i can switch this lot off.
Ted

[DieMade]

Humm, can't leave the kids alone for only one day here *g*

Everything looks OK in the log, looks like the flashs aren't soldered correct or something else ist wrong with the hardware.

I'm afraid the BMon is erased now.


Try to make a copy somewhere else (the bmon is still in RAM at 120000):

Code: Alles auswählen

protect off 10400000 1041FFFF
erase 10400000 1041FFFF
cp 120000 10400000 8000

If this one works out, you can still boot the box with some trick: set A20 to high-level (connect Pin10 and 37).

Ig the Box boots with A20 set to high, you can start to search for missing voltages/not properly connected pins and don't have to desolder the flashs again. DISCONNECT THE 2 PINS AFTER BOOTUP, DON'T DO ANYTHING WHILE THEY ARE CONNECTED!

If even this fails - heat the soldering iron

I think u-boot 1.1.2 have a bug in writing to 10000000-1001FFFF.
PT-1 got the same problem some days ago.

[DieMade]

No. I used exactly the programs and settings as I posted before in this Thread:

In a 2nd try I even verified the erasure of the flash, it was empty (FF) in the first 128kb.

Before erase:

Code: Alles auswählen

=> crc32 10000000 20000
CRC32 for 10000000 ... 1001ffff ==> a9b56ddf

After erase:

Code: Alles auswählen

=> crc32 10000000 20000
CRC32 for 10000000 ... 1001ffff ==> 7db2b7bb

After cp.l:

Code: Alles auswählen

=> crc32 10000000 20000
CRC32 for 10000000 ... 1001ffff ==> a9b56ddf

So everything looks OK with u-boot 1.1.2 and Nokia 2xIntel BMon 1.2

[maxg]

But you didn't test the reaction of BMon1.0 and u-boot 1.1.2 on a wrong BMon1.2 Box.
The boxes from Big Ted and PT-1 were booted with BMon1.0 on a BMon1.2 box.

[DieMade]

Doh, somebody broke the Flash-Code in u-boot....

DieMade or TheMade is just the Master of DBOX ;-)

I gave my Box to someone who soldered the chips in the first place and he can now have it for all that i'm bothered...

A mate of mine killed another Box the other day. Tried a Tutorial on how to get rid of the Stripes in the Nokia Display and used the Stanley Knife the wrong way and cut trough the flat lead for the LCD. Plugged back in and now the Processor can be used to heat tea ;-)

PT-1

[DieMade]

That's the reason why I don't like this "home improvment"-HowTos

[Big Ted]

so all i now need is to try again with a newer version of u boot and it should work?
ok 2 questions which chip is A20 and where can i get the latest uboot version, after that I promise to leave this thread alone

thanks for all your help eveybody.

Ted

[DieMade]

The address lines are connected 1:1 on both flashs, doesn't matter on which one you set A20 to high level - the other one will be the same.

Get http://forum.tuxbox-cvs.sourceforge.net ... _1.1.6.zip as a replacement for u-boot - this always worked for me in the past.

[Big Ted]

how do i reflash the bmon from the a20 mode? getting this at the moment.

Disconnect the A20 connection (without disconnecting the dbox from the mains of course) and use the procedure posted before (boot u-boot/ppcboot by "boot net", load bmon-image, etc.).

Just skip the backup-part:

Code: Alles auswählen

protect off 10400000 1041FFFF
erase 10400000 1041FFFF
cp 120000 10400000 8000

Remember:
Get http://forum.tuxbox-cvs.sourceforge.net ... _1.1.6.zip as a replacement for u-boot - this always worked for me in the past.

[Big Ted]

ok i must be missing something here,

bridged to a20, boots says kein system, com terminal as above,

removed bridge, but terminal can't recognise command:

unrecognized command cp, args [0] [0] 0x63

can you do it step by step (i'm, having a stupid day)

thanks.

[DieMade]

Modified my previous post above to use ppcboot:

Copy ppcboot_1.1.6 and your BMon-file (BMON.IMG) into the same directory (i.e. C:\FLASH).

Setup Bootmanager:
- Uncheck all Options
- Enter a IP for your Dbox
- Check "RARP-Server starten"
- Check "COM-Port" "Öffnen" - Speed 9600
- Check "BootP / TFTP - Server starten"
- Set "Bootfile für die DBox" to "C:\FLASH\ppcboot_1.1.6"
- Klick on the "Start" button

- Power on the DBox or type "boot net" if already powered up, it should boot ppcboot via network now.
- Press Strg+C as soon as ppcboot starts up (ignore i2c-errors)
- ppcboot should show the "=>" prompt now
- Enter "rarpboot 120000 /C/FLASH/BMON.IMG" - the box should load the bmon via network
- Enter "protect off 10000000 1001ffff"
- Enter "erase 10000000 1001ffff" - this is the point of no return
- Enter "cp.l 120000 10000000 8000"

Reboot the Box now

[Big Ted]

does this still apply to me, after erasing bmon from original point and having to boot viat a20 ? when trying to boot net getting elfcopy failed ?

What does the Bootmanager display in its network-log (the grey part above the white com-terminal)?

Maybe keep A20 connected until ppcboot got loaded. I never needed to use this emergency mode, but I think the BMon can't find the ethernet hardwareaddress - it's part of the BMon and after disconnecting A20 the data may be empty/void.

***Adapter Desc: FE575 Ethernet Adapter
***MAC address: 00:00:86:55:D3:95 Local IP: 192.168.5.3 (via Packet-Driver #4)
***BootP server started... Port 67
***TFTP server started... Port 69

I have tried with the bridge still on

at what point should i remove it during boot ?

sorry for the questions.

Try to remove it when ppcboot begins loading. You can try different timings, just don't do anything inside ppcboot (protect, erase cp.l) as long as A20 ist high.

tried with and without bridge.

Finally, tried with ou the bridge then put it back on and it worked, now it boots without a20.

As a great doctor once said "IT'S ALIVE!" but he had more sparks..]


Thanks a million
