\\Mr_C\\, yes, JTAG for about anything 3.3V and supported by OpenOCD etc.
<\\Mr_C\\>
hmm
<\\Mr_C\\>
i got 3 bricked router that i can use a serial to ttl on, but i cant seem to find a command to let me put the proper firmware on them, so with this jtag, it will do more than this 3 or 4 pins serial to ttl?
<hno>
\\Mr_C\\, only if you have suitable JTAG flasher program for it (and there is an JTAG port on the board).
<\\Mr_C\\>
yea there is on them all

\\Mr_C\\, There is no TFTP recovery?
* hno
have yet to see a router where there is no TFTP recovery.
<\\Mr_C\\>
ithey only goto cfe prompt
<hno>
Have you tried holding the reset button at power on for a loong time.
<\\Mr_C\\>
yes
<\\Mr_C\\>
ive tried so many forums and attempts at different methods
<hno>
What kind of routers?
<\\Mr_C\\>
check this out, i have two tenda's w300d's 1 works and one will let me flash a firmware smaller than 4 megs, but if i try the firmware thats supposed to be on there it says its to large
<\\Mr_C\\>
i jacked up the cfe program or whatever
<\\Mr_C\\>
it has the wrong chip id for the broadcom 96xx1 or something
<hno>
are you saying you flashed the wrong CFE onto the board?
<\\Mr_C\\>
the other netgear jsut scrolls the word cfe repating, i jacked up the memory block and it wont boot
<\\Mr_C\\>
yea i did and i cant get it back
<\\Mr_C\\>
to set the proper board id type
<Guest45212>
Will I be able to restore the boot loader via JTAG?
<hno>
\\Mr_C\\, Ok, yes that usually requires a JTAG reflash.
<hno>
Guest45212, boot loader of what?
<hno>
cubieboard do not need JTAG to restore anything.
<Guest45212>
hno: uboot
<hno>
You don't need JTAG for that.
<hno>
you only need JTAG if you want to debug the early stages of u-boot.
<hno>
to recover u-boot on SD just write a new SD card.
<hno>
to revover u-boot in NAND just press 1 during bootup and write the new u-boot there, or reflash completely using livesuit. Or usb-boot asuitable Linux system and do whatever you like.

the cubieboard is practically unbrickable.
<hno>
by software, excluding physical damage including significant ESD discharge.
* Bushmills
connects hno's cubieboard to 110 Volt, and passes it to hno, saying "here is your unbrickable cubieboard"
<mnemoc>
Bushmills: read the line before yours
* hno
won
<Bushmills>
yes, 4 seconds, i was almost done typing that by then
<mnemoc>
the "practically" was there before your started typing ;-)
<Bushmills>
well, 110 volt is a very practical way to brick a board
<Guest45212>
I want to porting the operating system to another cubieboard. But I worry about what will happen if I mess up boot the device will be unusable
<mnemoc>
Guest45212: unless you make physical damage you can always boot it from usb or mmc
<hno>
you can fix the cubieboard even if you completely erase the NAND flash.
<Guest45212>
hno: thanks for help me
<mnemoc>
the A31 is sightly more annoying, it only boots from mmc0 if you hold the FEL button...
<Guest45212>
I just thought that the device can in principle be hurt by software
<user_2>
mnemoc, hello. I just installed last linaro image, but it dotn sutisfy my: no firmaware for usb wireless dongle, no this, no that... do you know fron where (if exist) i can download a image of a pure debian ?
<Guest45212>
Will the new version cubieboard? New CPU
<mnemoc>
Guest45212: the cubieboardii will use the same PCB but with allwinner A20 instead of A10
<mnemoc>
user_2: I didn't, but rellla uses it afaik
<Guest45212>
When?
<user_2>
ok. rellla not in channe, so i cnat ask to him. i will donwload and test by meself
<mnemoc>
user_2: he is in #linux-sunxi
<user_2>
thanks.
<user_2>
i go there then
<user_2>
no, is not in channel... im unluky today
<mnemoc>
user_2: you can join #linux-sunxi too, it's not restricted
<mnemoc>
Guest45212: they'll send prototypes to linux-sunxi developers first, to help adding free-software support for A20 before selling it to the masses
<user_2>
i am already in , but i cant see rellla
<Guest45212>
gogd news
<ssvb>
mnemoc: is A20 as annoying as A31 with the regards to booting from SD card?
<mnemoc>
user_2: true. he went to sleep. wait for him and ask tomorrow ;-)
<user_2>
ehee i go to sllep too
<user_2>
midnight here.
<mnemoc>
ssvb: i don't think so. hipboi comments on the wiki were specificly about A31
<mnemoc>
user_2: same here
<user_2>
mnemoc, true? i suppose u wans in South America
<user_2>
so im wrong.
<mnemoc>
user_2: .es
<user_2>
ah ok
<hno>
.se here
<user_2>
hno, hidrogen, nitrogen, oxigen?
<user_2>
mnemoc, i got the .tar.bz2. seem sto e only the root partition, not the whole istallation. (i mean, seem to be missed the FAT16 partition)
<mnemoc>
it's a rootfs
<mnemoc>
not an image
<user_2>
it seem to be the only*
<user_2>
ah
<user_2>
bat to me
<mnemoc>
device-agnostic
<Guest45212>
Thanks for the help, good luck
<hno>
you need to add your kernel & script.bin etc.
Guest45212 has left #cubieboard [#cubieboard]
<hno>
night
* mnemoc
going to sleep too. good night
<user_2>
there is not a full image with 3.4 (or later kernel) plus a debian rootfs? i prefere to start wuth something already usable. (no problem if it is only CLI)
<user_2>
ok, i go to sleet too. see you all tomorrow.
<mnemoc>
what's the point of sharing 4GB+ files when you can do the same in a bullet-proof way downloading onlike 150MB+ ?
* mnemoc
hates images
<mnemoc>
good night
<user_2>
mnemoc, we talk tomorrow, good nite.
