This is my first attempt to flash the loader.
1) The instructions on http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/flashing require loading the file named "target/firmware/board/compal_e88/loader.*e88loader* .bin".
Strangely I do not have this file after compilation. I have loader.compalram.bin and loader.highram.bin. I also have layer1.e88loader.bin and rssi.e88loader.bin.
Can you please guide me?
2) The guide for flashing an application says to use rssi.e88flash.bin. Does that mean if I want to flash "layer1" as my application, then I must use layer1.*e88flash*.bin at that point?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Sylvain,
Going through the firmware Makefile I find that you had explicitly enabled only compalram & highram environments for the loader app in your patch dated 11.12.2012.
The current wiki on flashing at http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/flashing requires to load "osmoload fprogram 0 0x002000 target/firmware/board/compal_e88/loader.*e88loader*.bin" and flash rssi applications with "osmoload fprogram 0 0x010000 target/firmware/board/compal_e88/rssi.e88flash.bin".
1. So is the wiki wrong or do we need to patch the Makefile?
2. I want to flash layer1 app so that I don't have to download it every time. Should I be loading "layer1.e88flash.bin" or "layer1.compalram.bin"?
Both my questions arise because I don't understand the difference between layer1.e88flash.bin and layer1.compalram.bin and layer1.e88loader.bin. I understand that the highram environment is only for OpenMoko (is that correct?). A note of clarification will be helpful.
Since I have already bricked a phone on the first point I am not able to solve these by experimenting. :-(

Hello Bhaskar11, hello all,
I haave the same problem... I haven't the "loader.e88loader.bin" file and simply tried to use the "layer1.e88flash.bin" instead.. It was a bad idea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My phone is a paperweight now :(
I read that you posted some patches but also read (if I understand correct) that it didn't solve this problem ??!!
Do you found a solution to this problem ? I would be very thankful for some help..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Michael
