Topic: Chumby classic strangely bricked
Hi,
I've bricked my chumby
Not quite sure how - I was trying to get the latest linux kernel (2.6.34-rc1) running (but not by flashing it, rather kexecing it into ram from a modifed 2.6.16)
Bootloader appears to be intact because it gives me:
Block 0x00000081 is bad.
Block 0x00000082 is bad.
Block 0x000000A2 is bad.
Block 0x00000659 is bad.
80 bad blocks or less are normal for this NAND FLASH.

--> Happy hacking! <--

Version code for 3.8 found
MSP is cleared; flagging normal mode.
--> Booting into normal mode... <--
Copy Kernel to Memory
................................
Jump To Kernel
Then nothing.
It does this for both normal and recovery mode.
So I tried hostboot and with that (slightly modifed to setup spll correctly so that USB works) I can boot and mount the normal root filesystem (mtd5). Network works so I can ssh in.
I've dumped all the flash partitions and nothing looks amis.
I've also reflashed the normal kernel (mtd4) and it still doesn't work.
Before this problem I only had one bad block:
Block 0x00000659 is bad.
I now seem to have gained 3 more
Block 0x00000081 is bad.
Block 0x00000082 is bad.
Block 0x000000A2 is bad.
But according to my calculation they're in the PSP partition anyway.
Is the official bootloader image available somewhere so I can do a binary comparison?
Any Ideas?
Cheers,
Martin
