2nd stage loader

  • Hi,


    Is anybody knows where is stored the 2nd stage loader ?


    In NAND flash or in the flash eprom near the NAND Flash.


    I have a DM7025 with NAND flash with too much bad sectors, so I want to change it by new one.
    If I unsolder it, can I read it with programmer (I work in electronic service) and write datas in new one?


    Thanks.

  • 1st stage loader in eprom, 2nd stage in flash. You won't need to write the 2nd stage loader to a new flash. (Unless you really want to, of course. :smiling_face: Flashing is only dependant on 1st stage.

  • Thaks for replying,


    So, if I have understood, I can unsolder bad NAND-flash, sold a new flash and Dreamup an image.


    Am I right?


    Regards.
