Hallo
man muss nur in den Boot Flash den Bootloader an 0x2c000000 programmieren. Dein Problem hat aber nichts damit zutun. Das ist ein typisches Problem. Die Atmel Flash Speicher gehen kaputt. Tausche beide Flash gegen AMD 29LV160. Dann programmiere (mit Jtag) den Bootloader an 0x2c000000 (ohne Header) des Boot Flash. Dann die Software seriell programmieren. Bist du in Deutschland?

Hello
one must program only into the boot Flash the Bootloader at 0x2c000000. Your problem has however nothing thereby to add. That is a typical problem. The Atmel Flash memory gets broken. Exchange both Flash for AMD 29LV160. Then program the Bootloader at 0x2c000000 (non header) boot of the Flash. Then the software serially program. You are in Germany?

hello guys. on the back of the receiver there is a sticker. it says IQg.matrix 1901411193000544. how do i know which model of Matrix is this receiver, Matrix S, Matrix S AC3, Matrix C, Matrix Action S or Matrix CAS 1S? there is only 2CI in the receiver, nothing embedded. is it Matrix S? now, which bootloader i must download and which software is suitable for it? and please explain to me what do u mean when u say : program the Bootloader at 0x2c000000 (non header) boot of the Flash??? im using Willem eprom programmer, i usually load the .bin file and program the flash. how do i program the Bootloader at 0x2c000000 (non header) boot of the Flash? sorry for so many questions guys but i guess its no shame when u dont know something. im looking forward to hearing from u. many thanx

You have a "Matrix S".

code of bootloader zap3.10 (*.bin file):


The first 16 byte is the header. The header is only for the serial download of the *.bin file! Remove the first 16 byte from the *.bin file. The file begins then with 0x EA 00 00 14....

The Flash is broken (Atmel). Take new AMD Flash. Program this new file at 0x00 of the boot Flash. The place of old Atmel (boot002.bin). Solder the new Flash into the Matrix.
Then the Matrix already boot. Then bring serially the firmware in (v30.07.1.bin)

If did not function to something.... One does not have to program the Flash externally! One can use the existing Jtag port!

If one the Jtag used... the addresses of the Flash begins with "2c". The storage area is over the CPU from 0x2c000000 to 0x2c3FFFFFE. The Bootloader comes at 0x2c000000.

If still questions are.... simply still once ask! Apology for my English. One does not understand searches well over a foreign language. Which is your native language?

Hi Oli. thanx for your invaluable help, i really appreciate it. ok, i downloaded the files. now how do i remove the first 16 bytes? i use Willem Eprom programmer software, do i just put FF FF FF FF in these bytes or i use another software to remove them?

Do not fill up with 0xFF. One must remove the headers completely.

Oli I found a HEX editor and modified the 3.10 bootloader like u said the new file starts EA00 0014 E59F F1AC E59F F1AC E59F F1AC . i programmed the flash but when i soldered it to the board the receiver did not say boot on the front display, it doesnt boot. normally would it boot even without the second flash? do i have to remove the header from the software v30.07.1.bin too? or program it just like it is? help Oli

On the display now "noSF" is located and in the log of the hyperterminal should the box should into the Download mode go (automatically). Then the Firmare serially send.
