First of all thank you for the fact you have provided so many information.
I have read on your site, on hpcfactor dot com and I could not find the solution to my problem.
Here's my Mobilepro 900 history.
1. I got a Mobilepro 900 as a present. The keyboard
did not work - I suppose a hardware issue - and I was using an USB keyboard. Everything was OK.
2. I played around with it a bit, so it was working. It had an old boot and image so I have upgraded to boot ver. 4.10
3. I have played also with Linux + Haret
4. I have played also with Haret + RAMOS XIP.BIN from cmonex loaded into RAM
It was wonderful.
But, one day, by a regrettable mistake I have updated
(with Update.exe
) the ROM image
(XIP.BIN
) with the wrong image: XIP_RAMOS_cmonexv2KITC - XIP.BIN
Because the keyboard isn't working at all, I can not use the combination C+F
(as you may know already, the USB keyboard works only in a working OS - it's detected by the OS
). It was a brick.
I have JTAGed the Boot again
(the SABOOT.NB0... SABOOTpatch03.NB0 provided for JTAG
) hoping that it will try to load the XIP.BIN from the CF. Obviously, it didn't.
I've read the Beginners ROM mod.doc and Rom_full_tutorial_v3_20.rtf . After JTAG the system is booting but the operating system doesn't start. It remains in the startup screen.
I know the current image isn't the right one.
It's frustrating to know that you can also JTAG your OS in the flash but I need to know where is the start address to start JTAGing the OS/XIP.BIN. Or maybe you have a better sollution... I don't have the serial cable for Mobilepro and I could not find the pinout of the connector to make the serial connection and start it.
I have the JTAG cable, a 4GB CF, 3 computers
(winxp+Cygwin, Debian and DSL
) and some electronics knowledge. Please help.
