Mistake changing seria number
One of the XOs 1.5 here in La Rioja have the serial number with lower case letters SHC00500ad0, this machine can't be activated. We tried to change the tag, but made a mistake and used delete-tag and not change-tag, and the machine has security enabled. The machine doesn't have serial number now, and show No serial number so we can´t access OFW prompt. We tried connecting the serial cable, but when we do: ok add-tag SN SHC00500AD0 we have: Restarting to enable SPI FLASH writing. Try again after the system restarts. Do we have any options, or have we broken the laptop? -- Gonzalo Odiard SugarLabs Argentina La Rioja ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: Mistake changing seria number
Your only option at this point is to replace the SPI FLASH part.

Re: Mistake changing seria number
Well, actually, there is one other option - it is possible to use one XO-1.5 to reprogram the SPI FLASH inside another. It requires that you solder header connectors to both machines and connect them with a ribbon cable. I don't think that there is a writeup for how to do it.
