Forgot to erase flash before writting uboot. Bricked?

Hello.

I was upgrading my uboot to last version, but I forgot to erase the flash, i.e., to do:

flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 4

I did all the following steps.

Now I can not boot. Is my dockstar bricked?

Thanks.

J. Carlos,

Yes. It is bricked. And the Dockstar does not have UART booting. So the only way you can recover is connecting JTAG.

But on the slim chance that it might have worked and something else was the problem, you can try to boot with uEnv.txt in /boot folder. See the instruction in the u-boot installation thread.

I'm not even able to access uboot using a serial console.

Can you give me a URL to how to recove using JTAG?

Thanks.

It is in the sticky Wiki thread up above:

Here is the specific post (external link) to unbrick Dockstar:

With that link it seems I have to buy a BusPirate card.

But there is also this link: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,21789

I have a raspberry pi. Am I understanding correctly that link shows how to use a raspberry pi as a JTAG board??

Thanks.

Yes, it is a pretty good instruction on how to do that.

But can I use it for a dockstar, and not a Pogo?

What's the equivalent of J1's Pogo connector in my dockstar?

Thanks.

You can use the Dockstar cfg from Redox. But the Pogo E02 and Dockstar have the same SoC so it most likely will work using Pogo E02 cfg. The J1 connector is also the same, iirc. You will see when you open the Dockstar.

Sorry, but I'm not able to make a correspondence between this:

## Raspi ## Note: be careful and don´t mix GPIO and Pin number on Raspi!
## we use the Pins from SPI Interface (violett) 19,21,23,26 and 22 + 20 for GND see GPIO schematic Raspi

GPIO--------Pin#--color BP ---------- JTAG Pogo E02 (Wire colors from Buspirate cable)

GND ------- 20 - (Brown) GND ----------- GND (1)
GPIO 10 --- 19 - (Grey) MOSI ----------- TDI (2)
GPIO 9 ---- 21 - (Black) MISO ---------- TDO (4)
GPIO 11 --- 23 - (Violett) CLK --------- CLK (5)
GPIO 25 --- 22 - (White) CS ------------ TMS (6)
GPIO 7 --- 26 - (Blue) AUX/TRST ------- RES (7)

and this:

Where are CLK, TMS and RES in my dockstar?

Thanks

Sorry, I can see TMS, but not CLK and RES ...

Perhaps CLK is TCK and RES is n_TRST?

Please post these questions in Joerg's thread: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,21789. Joerg probably had this thread notification and will hopefully come around and answer them.
