No progress, but now I read out the hole 1st flash flash chip (thaks about 3h) to "check" if the flash is defect, the RAM should be ok. There are some compilent flash chips on the market, but this is really one of the latest options

hmm if the first chip isn't defect - i wonder if cl4 bootloader + cl4 OS (this fits on first chip) would work. (you said jtag can't access second chip)

Read the hole fist chip out (0xFF pattern), 2 byte missmatch, but when I reread this region a 2nd time, the bytes are ok ? The jtag interface cable is very simple and there is no verification when it reads out the memory, so this can be the problem for this missmatch. I will test it with 0x00 pattern, but latter (it takes to long ).

I will test your idea with the cl4 bootloader and os when the flash seems to be ok , the RAM difference shouldn't be a problem.

I can't access the 2nd flash chip via jtag

Installing the hh.org bootldr give me the following output over the serial port
No serial download request Boothdr at 0x05080000 -> 0x31415926 Loading executable with header 0xe1a00000 [*********************/] 17724kB/sec Done Uncompressing Linux............................................ incomplete distance tree -- System halted

Seems that blupdater.img load a small linux which later overburn the Siemens bootloader, but the compressed linux kernel is defect (flash...?)

Seems they lost some page
Downloading the image over jtag doesn't work
Now I stop working on that Simpad (I have a new one)

I try to port the RedBoot bootloader to the simpad, maybe this can help me later to bring live back to my bricked simpad

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP
