Hi
If you have the option to do a Satellite scan you have the correct bootloader, but you mention you flashed Alps, this is wrong.
If your dm has philips tuner jtag command line like this.
"jtagdm500 -m dm500 -d philips" without quotes.

Hi
Very interesting post BTW, I just have one, well two really questions for a dm500c clone bootloader, after generating the file with the generator I presume you have to rename the file to 'blimp' then put it in the correct folder with jtag_windows.exe? Also does it matter about entering the correct Mac address into the generator or just use your 'something like' posted figures?

micromouse i have tried the mac generator (cable) for my dm500c but i cannot load it up via jtag windows ,, when i write it says "could not open flash.bin"
i take it all i should be doing is renaming the mac generated file to blimg and it should load??? is that correct???

i have no problem in connecting 500c jtag

but error always comes up "could not load flash.bin" after renaming blimg and writing

but the blimg that comes standard in windows package (the wrong one default alps i think ) will write to the box with no error
what could be wrong
thanks
mine is nxp tuner

micromouse
that file loaded fine !! thanks

i still have no response from box apart from green power light coming on
is that boot file file suitable for 500c nxp tuner?
i dont get no response in hyperterminal neither when powering up
is it lookin like a bin job on this 1
is the bootloader totally screwed?

thanks

Hi
Did you disconnect you jtag wires and restart the PC before trying dreamup?
I couldn't get dreamup to connect after loading the 500c bootloader in until I disconnected my jtag setup and a PC reboot.
Worth a try.

@micromouse
Thanks for the ponters BTW.
