Re: [jornada] failure to flash a jornada 565

Hi,

this list is still active, it's just the archive that's broken.

your problem is very simple to solve:

do a "load bootldr" at the boot> promt and upload the 32M bootldr file using
ymodem.
Once that's done continue with flashing the .jffs2 image.

I also recommend to use one of the familiar .8.2 snapshots as it includes the
newest kernel with latest bugfixes.
The official 0.8.2 release will be next week I guess.

regards,
Alex
