DM500 Stoned

[armyf9]

Seems like my Eagle DM500 is almost bricked.

I've ordered a JTAG cable off ebay but that'll probably come next week.

In the meantime, i've got two Null modem cables, could i cannibalise one of them and turn it into a Serial JTAG interface?

unfortunately i don't have a printer cable (who does in 2011? )

guess what? i received the jtag in the morning! ordered yesterday!

i've soldered it on and im getting comms.

The only problem i have now is its getting stuck at "download. 0%"

the TMS point just came off the pcb, but it's still able to do the initialising... i'm guessing it cant do the download to the flash is because of the TMS pin?

Is there an alternative point for this pin? i've looked and it doesnt seem to be connected to anything...

ok ok, i'm a beginner so go easy ...

I've uploaded a pic here:
