Okay, so essentially, I did a lot of experimenting with the freescale imx50 u-boot.bin for android e-ink devices, including wiping the flash entirely, disabling all flash protection and trying to flash their supplied kernel to the device. Alas, I was somewhat 'trying my luck' and hoping the development board was very similar to the kindle. It wasn't. Now I fear that it has done something to the flash chips that has put some sort of corrupt data on it that is making amazon's bist and the custom fastboot program to choke. Really, I think that I need to wipe the flash chips entirely, but using a program that is designed for the job. Little clueless about how to do that as there is no debug information given when I try to enter bist on an amazon firmware (unless there is an option to enable verbose output that I have missed?) and it crashes. I'll try to familiarise myself with amazon's uboot source. Does anyone with better knowledge than me know how to do this?
