I have already found someone to send me the board via mail. I will do it this way. But thank you for the offer. -- Drucken Sie diese Mail bitte nur auf Recyclingpapier aus.

Re: GTA01 bricked - WANTED Debug Board in Germany
I have found someone willing to share his debug board. Thank you Nils Bokermann. Now just out of curiosity and to get this documented on the wiki. How could I have done it right?

There is obviously no one nearby who knows the right way here in the mailing lists and on irc. -- Drucken Sie diese Mail bitte nur auf Recyclingpapier aus.

GTA01 bricked - WANTED Debug Board in Germany
I have just bricked my GTA01, is there anyone on Germany who might be willing to reanimate it via JTAG? I would send you the unit with a return ticket. Paymet for this service could be some bottles of the finest black wood forest beer: Rothaus Pils Waldhaus Pils Waldhaus Jubilaeumsdunkel How does this sound? Here is the story. (Not to repeat!) Booting from SD never worked for me. I thought maybe Qi does it better. Qi did not, but I lost my DFU-Mode this way. (Qi has none and I have no secondary NOR bootloader. Qi Wiki-page was written by Frerunenr users.) It was clear that I have to go back to uboot as soon as possible because I would be screwed the moment my system does not longer boot correctly. (happens quickly with only hand full of megs free space) I could not find any information on how to write it back with nandwrite. Nandwrite has many parameters which I don't understand. And the Internet is silent about this. My post on the community list stayed unanswered. So i just tried it: > nandwrite /dev/mtd0 gta01bv4-u-boot.bin > Input file is not page aligned > Data was only partially written due to error > : Success Success? Error? Well, Error. It does not boot any more! nandwrite -o would have probably been the right command... I don't know. Could anyone elaborate? This should be documented. Conclusion, keep away from Qi if you have a GTA01. -- Drucken Sie diese Mail bitte nur auf Recyclingpapier aus.
