    All, I'm trying to get Android loaded on Zoom MDK. I used the omap droid sites, etc. to figure out how to (almost) to build and reprogram the device.

    I reprogrammed the boot loaders, etc. and now get the error:

    ECC Failed, page 0x00080000 followed with a good bit of hex data
    12 0 0 ea 14 f0 9f e5 14 f0 9f e5 14 .......

    I looked around for any info on this but couldn't really find anything.

    At this point I don't get a prompt when I power the device on, only the error message.

    Is there a way to recover from this?

    Thanks.

    Andy,

    Look for the bootable SD card files in your account on our web site. There is documentation available to help you get u-boot back on the device.

    Thanks

    Richard,
    Thanks for the quick reply. Since I posted I have tried a couple of things.

    1. Took an SD card, created 2 partitions on it. The first was a bootable Fat32 partition. 64 Megabytes. Second partition is a Linux partition, not listed as bootable by fdisk
    2. Downloaded the MicroSD card bootable objects from your website, copied them to the first partition. (actually I also tried the ones I built too)
    3. Powered off the Zoom, inserted the card, powered on.
    4. I get the same result, I get stuck with the error message on the screen.

    I didn't actually see any instructions on how to use the boot files, so I'm assuming I did the right thing. If there are some instructions I missed, I would appreciate it if you could provide a pointer. My concern is that this is an x-loader problem too.

    Problem solved.

    The files downloaded from the LogicPD website worked for me. I missed a statement on an online page that said that the SD file system had to be set up in an exact manner (Partion 1, with 255 heads and 63 sectors).

    I repartitioned the SD card and re-copied the files that are from the website, now I'm back to a boot prompt. I should be able to reprogram from there.

    Thanks.
