This 19237640 Amount is very Important as we need it later and depending on your Image may vary in size!!!
Delete the original Image within the Flash:
Code:







erase 0xF0480000 0xF1FFFFFFWatch the output
Quote:
.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ....................Erased 220 sectorsHD1>

you now need to divide the output value of the Amount we mentioned earlier by 4 !!! Please be aware that depening on the Image you are flashing the actual output from your serial connection may be differet!!!

After this you need to convert the result into hexadecimal. Use the Windows calculator in the scientific mode.

Example:

19237640 Byte /4 = 4809410
4809410 decimal = 0x4962C2

We are now flashing the Image
Quote:
cp 0x0E000000 0xF0480000 0x4962C2

0x4962C2 is the result of the calculation based on this example !!

The Image is now flashed and you finalize this whole procedure by typing:

reset

Just like in the good old Dbox Times ;-)
