Flashing in Yamon<br />

158 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 07-08/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com<br />

1. The dumped flash file contains both boot loaders in the first<br />

&H80000 bytes. Use your favourite HEX-editor to delete these<br />

bytes. I use the free software Frhed for this.<br />

2. Select the first byte and then shift-select the byte on position<br />

0x7ffff. Notice that the next bytes show “-rom1fs-“ which is the<br />

label of the kernel!<br />

3. Press the DEL-key to delete the selected bytes. Confirm that<br />

you are deleting x0 to x7ffff.<br />

4. Save the resulting bytes into a new file.<br />

5. You will obtain a new file with exactly 7.864.320 bytes. It<br />

contains the complete flash image except the two boot loaders.<br />

6. This file can be written directly from within YAMON to the<br />

flash chip using the “pflash” command. Make sure that the file is<br />

loaded into &Hb0100000 and its size is &H780000. This makes the<br />

recovery process much faster, as you do not have to start Linux<br />

from RAM and then transfer files using FTP.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
