class=687522417-12012007>I can only speculate, but I would expect a JTAG port to
be made available -- probably on the phone itself, but failing that, through the
"hackers lunchbox" (or was that toolbox?) accessory. That would allow you to
reprogram flash without relying on the existing flash booting, as long as you
have the JTAG connection and software on your development
host.</SPAN></FONT></DIV><BR>

hacking<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hello!<BR>As I am mainly a low level programmer I will probably try
to put my hands on the Neo at kernel level like customizing<BR>the linux kernel
with patches or even try to program the Neo with my own kernel.<BR>I think that
the openess of the platform will allow me that. Is it right? <BR>Is there a way
to recover a mistake at this level (that is, the boot loader doesn't work any
more)?<BR><BR>Thanks a lot,<BR>Alessandro<BR></BODY><!--[object_id=#authentec.com#]--><DIV class=Section1>
