This has "too many moving parts" written all over it :-( Granted, MPU recovery should be an uncommon event, but we better make it simple, lest new surprises grace us with their presence. Besides, knowing that there's a reasonable way for everyone to restore their firmware removes a lot of the Fear of Change one experiences when releasing updates to the world ;-) For development of the USB firmware loader, the pads for the bed of nails should be good enough to access a serial loader port or even JTAG (the latter may be overkill, though). Once that simple firmware loader is done, it should basically stay the same forever. Someone who really wants to go that deep to make changes will probably be fine with whatever we use inside Openmoko, even if this means a bit of soldering. - Werner _______________________________________________ hardware mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/hardware
