(only the green led is blinking and it does so with a constant interval) Jul 23 18:28:55 also it doesn't connect to the network anymore Jul 23 20:33:16 figured it out, the power supply is broken :( Jul 23 21:03:13 The Achilles' Heel of the *plugs... :( Jul 23 21:29:45 heh, my plug recently had that Jul 23 21:29:57 indeed, bad power supply, caps blown to heck Jul 23 23:55:49 Hi everyone, I'm trying to flash the uboot on my guruplug using the jtag and i'm running into difficulties...Has anyone successfully done this from ubuntu 10.04? Jul 23 23:56:30 You're not alone. The trick is to switch the JTAG box to RS232 mode before plugging things in. Jul 23 23:56:53 Also, if you get a successful flash, lemme know; mine has refused to unbrick even after flashing. Jul 23 23:57:36 MostAwesomeDude, Thanks, I'll keep you posted on the progress, mine isn't bricked perse - i just want to try my hand at loading another kernel... Jul 23 23:58:10 I assume in addition to flipping the switch I need to move the plug from UART to RS232 Jul 23 23:58:13 ? Jul 23 23:58:14 jcsmith: Flashing kernels is straightforward. Flashing uboot is dangerous IME. Jul 23 23:58:31 No, just make sure that the UART isn't going. Jul 23 23:58:45 Also, you totally can flash the kernel from userspace/u-boot, and it's fairly safe to do so. Jul 23 23:58:56 Also you can have u-boot load and test new kernels w/o flashing. Jul 23 23:59:19 MostAwesomeDude, my problem is that I tried flashing the custom kernel before I knew i needed up upgrade uboot so i can't load that kernel/userspace right now Jul 23 23:59:41 jcsmith: This sounds *very* familiar. Good luck. :3 Jul 24 00:00:14 MostAwesomeDude, i sure hope i haven't permently brickified it....so sorry but i'm confused now - do i have to flip the switch from uart to rs232 or not? Jul 24 00:00:53 jcsmith: To do the JTAG, flip the switch from UART to RS232. Jul 24 00:03:47 doesn't seem to have made a difference....i'm still getting an timed out while waiting for target halted error Jul 24 00:33:04 anyone know if the line usb 5-2: Ignoring serial port reserved for JTAG in my dmesg has anything to do with my iniability to jtag this plug? Jul 24 01:51:41 MostAwesomeDude, I wasn't able to get the device to jtag, but since it was still booting to the legacy UBoot environment i was able to follow the directions here to upgrade it over tftp...http://kiserai.net/blog/2010/07/07/yet-another-guruplug-custom-kernel-howto Jul 24 02:13:41 jcsmith: Mine's already bricked, but thanks. Jul 24 02:33:16 MostAwesomeDude, no worries - i wasn't sure if your uboot env was working at all so i thought i'd pass the info on to you Jul 24 02:34:31 jcsmith: Nah, I get a silent UART and no boot. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Jul 24 02:59:57 2010
