Ber1 ------- flashing on dct 2224 ph9

Post by lowjackd »

Anyone know what bER1 flashing alternating with ---- means ? this is a 2224 ph9 unit.

after reading posts about ber1 resolutions i am still having issues. here is what i have tried so far!

-reset 1
-R
-init
-r rpc 468
-r a7 200400
-flshdct code
Found Address= 00400000 CFI MX29LV161B
-program code
Erase starts...
Erase time 00:00:22 (.937)
Program Starts... this is where it gets stuck?

-reset 1
-R
-init
-ldram 400000
C:/Documents and Settings/Comp305/Desktop/USBBDM/FIRMWARE/0 Displayed/0793tvr7304rSPI.bin loaded
-flshdct 400000
Found Address= 00400000 CFI MX29LV161B
-program 406000 aa000
Dest must start at the boundary of a block

-reset 1
-R
- init
-init
-ldram 400000
C:/Documents and Settings/Comp305/Desktop/USBBDM/FIRMWARE/ph9 1994/Code.bin loaded
-flshdct 400000
Found Address= 00400000 CFI MX29LV161B
(i clicked code checksum) Do not forget to program the chip
-program 406000 a000
Dest must start at the boundary of a block
-program code
Erase starts...
Erase time 00:00:23 (.000)
Program Starts... stuck here will not program

from usbbdm previous post i found:
"OK, here is how to get the box back.

Type
reset 1
Read the A7 and RPC
If A7 and RPC all (my values are a7= 00200400)&(rpc=00000468) FFFFFFFF. The type command
r a7 200400
r RPC 468

Type command
init

Then use
flshdct code

Load your initial firmware and program it. If you can not fix it, setup VNC and I can help you on it."

Hope this is not overwhelming? everything i read has not worked....

I have three different good ph9 backups and all have same results!

thanks in advance for your help!

If you have good rpc #'s then you don't have to do the last stuff you posted. Off the top of my had i don't remember if that ph has watchdog at c105? Instead of programming that block why don't you try programming the whole thing...also looking at what you typed it doesn't looked like you loaded any nvram or code into it..all you did was detect it, tried to change the rec values then program the code?? Or did i miss something here?

Ber1 means your checksum of the platform is bad.

A good backup restore should fix this this issue.
Quite often people did backup without look at if they are good or not. (Click the memory tabs, if you see all 00s or all FFs, this is not good backup, program back simply brick the target).
In this case the BDM NT is working fine. After programming a good backup, cmpram should be used to verify the programming is accurate in most case.

Your platform is bad (bad checksum). Program a good platform will solve your issue.
