Hi all, I have a mini2440, brought long back. i am not used except once or twice, where i tried to flash something (no remembered what i did), display gone. there after i lost interest. i left it a side. Now i want to start using it. So, when i powered up, blank display appears and off. I am not sure, how to start to work with it. Can any one please help me on this? Thanks, MorningSun
Does the red power LED come on? Hook it up to a PC running minicom or hyperterminal using the supplied RS232 cable and then post the bootup messages.
No boot up messages appeared on terminals . I am thinking, i need to flash it, through JTAG. Any idea on how to flash it, through JTAG?
Yup, had to do it once about 3 years ago. Search for a HowTo at www.andahammer.com called something like "JTAGingtheNOR.pdf". Think I would check that your terminal setup is working properly. There was a recent thread about the same issue. Search loopback test.
Hi, I did the loop back test (shorting the pins 2 and 3, and echo mode) with my serial cable (USB-to-Serial converter), it is working fine. i have found the JTAGingTheNOR.pdf file. It require a parallel port. i tried to buy a USB to Parallel port, i do not find it. (i have found only USB to Parallel printer port, which is having incompatible connectors). So i am thinking of about USB JTAG, do you have any idea on it? i would to like buy it.
No idea about that. I keep an old computer with a printer port just in case I mess it up again! Good luck.
Hi, I got the USB to Parallel port. I have updated the drivers (IEEE-1284 controller is detected). I have no idea on LPT port address to be provided in H-JTAG settings? Any idea on this? i searched the internet i did not found. Also, any idea on how to flash NOR in Linux using JTAG?
Maybe, try a lsusb command on your host to see what address your USB to LPT converter lives at. demsg is another useful command. Never did it is Linux.
