**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Aug 07 02:59:57 2011 Aug 07 09:43:57 hi Aug 07 09:45:46 I bricked my plugcomputer (sheevaplug) couple of weeks ago, and I would like to know if someone could help me reset it ? Aug 07 09:46:11 because I tried a lot of tutorial or doc but I don't know why it doesn't work... Aug 07 09:46:35 my last try was with the sheevaplug installer but nothing happened... Aug 07 09:46:50 (I broke uboot) Aug 07 09:47:24 but everything I read about this seems to be a little bit too old to worl today Aug 07 09:48:29 redfire: install openocd Aug 07 09:48:55 there's a script in a openocd directory made to restore a sheevaplug's bootloader Aug 07 09:49:46 I already have openocd Aug 07 09:50:19 you're speaking about the -c init option with sheevaplug.cfg script ? Aug 07 09:54:48 because I tried this command openocd -f /.../sheevaplug.cfg -c init -c sheevaplug_reflash_uboot with a uboot.bin file in the current dir Aug 07 09:56:15 then I get http://pastebin.com/vPxi5kxR Aug 07 09:57:10 but nothing more, I don't know if it is doing something... Aug 07 09:57:34 the only thing I can do is wait or C-c to try another stuff... Aug 07 10:07:16 it should eventually flash the uboot.bin Aug 07 10:07:22 i don't really remember how to do that manually, sorry Aug 07 10:07:24 Tootoot222: are you here? Aug 07 10:07:34 i only had to do that once :3 Aug 07 10:07:47 Tootoot222: redfire needs help with unbricking the bootloader Aug 07 10:10:22 actually, if openocd could tell me it is doing, it could be great... Aug 07 10:10:31 *what Aug 07 10:24:16 hum I let it run and I have something new Aug 07 10:24:51 I get the following messages Aug 07 10:24:54 http://pastebin.com/kXma6bMa Aug 07 10:25:19 but I dont know if it's a good or a bad news :-s Aug 07 10:48:23 Well maybe that's helping, I modified the php script of the sheevaplug installer and now I'm having an error about the wait_halt procedure from the sheevaplug script of openocd Aug 07 10:48:52 and then it asks me if the mini USB cable is connected Aug 07 10:49:13 I have the file /dev/ttyUSB0 so I assume it is and then I'm stuck again... Aug 07 11:00:25 I'll come back in few minuts Aug 07 11:26:52 re Aug 07 11:50:26 just a question, is it possible to brick a plug so badly that I can't get it back up ? Aug 07 13:11:15 redfire: not without physically damaging it Aug 07 13:11:29 well, i mean Aug 07 13:11:40 depending on how you consider the act of writing to the nand, i suppose Aug 07 13:12:05 if you keep writing on the nand eventually you'll have too many damaged sectors in places where the physical ROMs expect stuff to be Aug 07 13:12:14 but i consider that physical damage Aug 07 13:16:13 and even then, you can still boot - kinda - with openocd Aug 07 13:32:11 re Aug 07 13:32:13 ok Aug 07 13:32:45 I'm going to make a post in a forum Aug 07 13:32:52 I hope it will bring some new ideas Aug 07 16:56:44 re Aug 07 17:07:50 do you know a good forum (still active I mean) where I can get help ? Aug 07 19:56:19 I didn't know that plugcomputers need an approuval from administrators... Aug 07 19:57:01 does anyone can show me the content of his interface for openocd (for the sheevaplug) ? Aug 07 20:17:10 I'm getting this now Error: timed out while waiting for target halted Aug 07 20:17:30 and from I read so far, it's like random to solve this... **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Aug 08 02:59:58 2011
