Hi, I'm trying to set my MINI2440 to factory defaults. It was stored in a safe place for sometime and now, I turn it on I don't see anything on the screen. I found the "Friendly ARM Downloader Instruction" in an attempt set it to factory defaults (like new condition). On the 6th step, Formating the NAND flash, I got the "block error message", see below, and I can't continue with the rest of the instructions. Any suggestions or fix to my scenario? or what I need to do first or did I screw up again? Thanks j [q] Goto shell of vivi Enter your selection: x doing partition size = 0 size = 327680 size = 2424832 check bad block part = 0 end = 327680 part = 1 end = 2424832 part = 2 end = 67108864 484000: is bad k = 0 block = 141 part0: offset = 0 size = 327680 bad_block = 0 part1: offset = 327680 size = 2097152 bad_block = 0 part2: offset = 2424832 size = 64651264 bad_block = 1 141
Restore to Factory Defaults
Does it really stop you from proceeding? Bad blocks are a fact of flash life. Perhaps, this is more serious then a few bad blocks. If all else fails, I would H-JTAG the latest version of Supervivi in and try again.
It will let me go through step 7 but it will stop (hang up) in the middle of the process. I did J-TAG it after I sent the email but I still see nothing on the screen. The J-Tagging went well without any errors. Is my screen BAD? or something else went bad? any other documents you have that points me in right direction? When S2=NOR, LED1 = BLINK, LED3 = ON, LED2 & 4 = OFF, SCREEN OFF When S2=NAND, LED1 - 4 = OFF ( I assume no activity), SCREEN = OFF, only power LED = ON. thanks.
