Re: Raven Cop 8260 Utility

Some flash parts have a WP* pin that "protects" the flash boot sectors only.  Often, designers will wire that input to a discrete
that can be controlled by software.

 We have tried it to. We have reached the conclution
that perhaps the specific flash has a hardware
problem.
Not even the startup monitor that BlueCat distributes
could be writen into flash. I couldn't ether make
ppcboot write into flash. Really strange. But it
doesn't realy matters, since I found at least one way
to run ppcboot. :)

 Well, all seem posible. But the idea is, that BlueCat
provides a monitor that works with VADS. (ADS Revision
Pilot). We do everything by the book but nothing does
happen. Shoulden't it work? Well I'll check the
schematics, to see if this WP_ is really there. We'll
see..
