Topic: Trouble Flashing SVN osimage.elf

I'm having trouble flashing osimage.elf built off SVN as of Jan 12. The bootrom and fpga flashed fine.

Also, I can flash the s19s from 20090905 fine. Log below.

$ sudo ./flasher os ../armsrc/obj/osimage.elf

After this point, the red and orange LEDs begin flashing together every second.

Has anyone else run into this?

If you're trying to build SVN HEAD and haven't read what bushing said on 2010-01-04 20:02:57:

I just committed changes to SVN to use ELF files instead of S19 files; I tested it for a few minutes, but I'm sure there are some bugs lurking in there.  Be Warned.

then perhaps I'd recommend sticking with a stable version?

Re: Trouble Flashing SVN osimage.elf

That last SVN was flashing for me (but under windows), looking at the log you provided it seems the USB comm was cut short. The code should have kept flashing until block address WriteBlock(122300,... which is paddr+filesize rounded up to nearest 256 byte block.

Have you tried flashing again, just in case?

Also I'm not sure why you're reflashing the bootrom, that code was stable and nothing major changed. Are you positive the bootrom flashed correctly (to completion) and hasn't somehow been corrupted?

d18c7db: The bootloader is fine, but you are right about USB comms being prematurely terminated. I think my problem stems from Linux reclaiming the device.

Thanks!
