"Remove all power and wait" is by far the easiest way to reset a keyboard, but ...
If one really could not get the keyboard to work, but wanted to upgrade the firmware anyway, here is a recipe: a) Get a USB stick, ideally factory-formatted with a FAT filesystem, but ext2 will work too. b) Put the firmware file, e.g. q3a15.rom, in the root directory of that stick. c) Create a file "/boot/olpc.fth" on that stick, containing these two lines: \ OLPC boot script flash u:\q3a15.rom The important feature of the first line is that it must begin with the two-character sequence "backslash space". d) Insert the stick into the XO and let it auto-boot. e) When the machine resets after the reflashing, remove the stick f) Delete or rename the /boot/olpc.fth file so that stick won't cause an auto-reflash the next time you insert it. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
