Sanjay,

It appears you are doing everything correctly. If your CF was probed=20
successfully in RB you will be able to see it using the disks
command..if=20
you cannot see it using disks you won't be able to load anything off it.

I recall there were some timing related issues in RB 2.01 for certain
slow=20
CFs...which prompted an update to RB 2.02.

I would recommend either trying an alternate CF or flashing your Avila
with=20
the latest RB. You can get the latest binary at:

http://gateworks.unixstudios.net/BSP/GW15002_Rev_0.6/JTAG%20Software%20an=
d%20Images/

Use a RB binary from there appropriate to the memory size of your Avila.

Thanks!

-Dave

Sanjay,
You cannot use a dos window from Win95 or Win98 for the flash.exe program,
you need to boot a DOS floppy. If you do a google search on Win98 boot disk
you will find several that will allow you to create a Win98 DOS boot floppy
(for example: http://freepctech.com/pc/002/files010.shtml). Copy your
flash.exe program and your binaries to your harddisk then reboot your
machine with the Win98 DOS floppy and go to your flash directory on your
harddisk and reflash your image.

Hope this helps,

Ron

Subject: [Avila] Dave,

Thanks.

In regards to burning RB as I remember you need a dos machine right.  I
remember talking to Gordon about this.  The problem is we no longer
maintain any dos stuff.  Do you know if I can go into a dos window of
windows 95 or windows 98 and would flash.exe still work?  I'll try to
dig up the jtag cable tomorrow.

I notice that the redboot binary requires I know the size of the ram.
How do I figure out what the RAM size is of the board I have?  Is there
a command in the redboot I can use?

Thanks,
Sanjay
