Re: Project status

Hi again

sorry in advance when I ask rtfm questions but I got a little trouble
navigating in the wiki.

I read somewhere that JTAG pins are identified. What keeps us from making a
bit by bit backup of the FLASH via JTAG or even directly connect to the FLASH
chip.
Did somone try this with a bricked device already?

cheers

Dom
