Depends on what you mean by 'from scratch'. If the unit does not have a bootloader _at all_, then you need to flash a bootloader via JTAG. But that's mildly convoluted. > What elements go into the Nokia fiasco image that cannot be built from > Free source?

If your device already has bootloaders, you don't need to flash them again, but you do need to execute this piece of non-free code every time you boot, or flash. Cheers, Daniel
