1.1p board not recognized

[Martin Kaiser]

Hi,

here's an update about my struggle to get the board working.

On one of my boxes, using Debian lenny, the board is not recognized
at all, regardless of the mode.

On a debian squeeze box, it looks like there's 3 scenarios

- the board is recognized by USB in "runtime mode", this only works when
  there's no phone and no sim connected. The red led is on in the case.
   - when I connect a phone and sim, the board is not recognized at all.
     The red led remains off.

- the board is recognized by USB in dfu mode

I tried updating the firmware, this time I used a main_simtrace.bin that
I compiled myself

root at skogar:~# dfu-util -d 16c0:0762 -a0 -D ./main_simtrace.bin -R

dfu-util does currently only support DFU version 1.0

Resetting USB to switch back to runtime mode


I'm not sure if that is a successful update, though. The board comes up
in runtime mode but stops working when phone/sim are connected.

- I tried activating the sam-ba mode by following the steps in 
  http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/SIMtrace/Firmware

  This does not work at all, the board remains in (non-working) runtime
  mode, it does not come up in sam-ba mode.


Any more ideas?

Thanks, best regards,
