there must be an easy way to reflash that thing.
even Siemens managed to make the SIMPad nearly unbrickable (bootloader menu over comport, you can erase full or parts of the OS flash or upload a new OS image over the serial line)

Or something like the Zauri have, a service menu, allowing the user to load a new OS image from a flash card.

the hard way would be if you could only reflash with JTAG, with the SIMPad you only had to use that option if you totally bricked it (=killed the bootloader).
