Ah ok, I'll resend it then.

Ah just as on my mioa701. I ended up soldering a JTAG cable :)

Okay. I'll try to reproduce this failure then. If I fail, well, before using the
JTAG cable, I used another trick: I was taking a movie from the LCD with a
smartphone, and it worked. It was an horrible thing to decrypt ... Let's hope
I'll be lucky on one of my platforms.

Ok, thanks.

Yes, this pxamci bothers me, it deserves a thread.

Great idea.

Agreed, this is a bug in this patch. With this fix, is the pxaficp working or do
you need a bit more time to experiment ?

Cheers.
