One man from XFU have a bricked Atom Life. Look for decision here.

Step 1. JTAG points discovery.
Need: detail foto the PCB (motherboad) with both side.

Step 2. Hardware preparation. Make a JTAG interface, for example very simple Xilinx or better Wiggler (download attached scheme from this post: http://forum.pda2u.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=...ost&p=4988)

Step 3. Software preparation.
Need: - Bootloader for this device; - full damp from working device (optionally).
Download h-jtag from .www.hjtag.com.

Step 4. Software tools. Atom Life has PXA270 with a DOC. What I think jFlashMM will do.

It was return message when i use jflashmm as follow:
D:\Flame\ATOM EXEC JTAG\RepairBootLoader(EXEC)\JFlash_MM>jflashmm pxa27x32 ebo_

Cannot open input file: Flash_f000_2_32.dat

This program supports flash devices defined by DAT files
contained in the same directory as the executable program.

If the file cannot be opened, there are four possibilities:

1 - The flash device installed is not supported.
2 - The flash device is a licensed product.
3 - The device ID could not be read, resulting in a poorly
constructed filename. The first numeric value in the
filename is the device ID. Verify this value with the
component specification.
4 - The memory bus is not functional. Check all CPLD and FPGA
devices. Make sure that you are using the correct
platform data file.



any advise?thanks
