A bad flash can brick the device, since the initramfs where most of the updating procedure is gets updated as well, leaving you unable to update again; however that update is done last, so you should be able to log in the M92 and fix everything by hands.
Also as long as the bootloader is good you should be able to flash a good image manually, but I don't know how to connect to the serial port (no obvious serial/jtag pin header).
Hope this helps! |
Does - thx (linked to wiki pointers section).
I'm still trying to assess the situation (though I don't have much time these days
), finding out what you can/cannot do and collecting infos/resources to play around with the device.
Mentioning jtag: Did you actually disassemble the device? It might interest some folks to know about the specific hardware built into the product (e.g., the wacom tablet type to facilitate a search for alternative styli).
Unfortunately, I didn't get any response from Onyx on my ticket requesting kernel sources/patches yet... I'm wondering whether something went wrong submitting the ticket, or whether they're ignoring it... has anyone else tried?
