Can I use the same procedures for 7020?

Hi,

For clone, check the RS232 cable because in my DM500 it was in the wrong side..
Sorry for my very bad english.

Hi
No, bootloader is different, I think you will need to google for info, unless anyone can point you in the right direction.

Hi
I would start to suspect the Asix ethernet port chip. I have read several reports on various forumf of the same symptoms and failure that you describe.
You could prove your system out by trying a borrowed DM500 on your setup/connection.

Flash info. : INTEL JS28F640J3D75

LOL - that's the same flash thats on my linksys wrt350n router - it's 8 meg.

You can dump it with a usb jtag to examine the boot loader but you need to use a normal jtag to flash it.

Believe it or not you can get the source code for making the jtag app from dd-wrt's website and mod it to work on these dreamboxes.....handy if they ever bring out new flashes. It needs to be compiled under linux though.
