Hi,

 

I have tried to upgrade one of my friend's DM8000 to version 4.0 of Open PLI, but every time I flash it, it stops during boot and sends these messages repeatidly on the serial port:

 

jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found at 0x00000000: 0x4255 instead

jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found at 0x00000004: 0x0001 instead
jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found at 0x00000018: 0xef21 instead
jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found at 0x0000003c: 0x62ea instead
Empty flash at 0x00000040 ends at 0x00000200
 
When I flash any earlier version (2.1 or 3.0), it works fine.
 
Any clue or help would be appreciated !
 
Best regards,
 
Daniel

Hi,

You probably needs to first upgrade the bootloader and then flash latest OpenPLi.

P.S. My bootloader is currently 84 as it is on another DM8000 where OpenPLI 4.0 works fine. So I guess the flash is simply corrupt, but I have no idea how to reformat the flash...

maybe bad blocks in flash - use dream up with recovery of bad sectors option enabled

OK, I tried with the bad sectors recovery, but it didn't change anything. Any image before 4.0 works fine, but 4.0 doesn't, it stays stuck at the "Discover" message.

 

Any other ideas ?

 

Thanks !

 

Daniel

Maybe, just maybe it is not an original DM8000???
