[Gumstix-users] Flash problem

[Heilpern, M. <mar...@au...>]

My Gumstix recently complained while I was scp'ing a file over to it,
and the flash file system was corrupt. (Original error messages are no
longer available; I didn't think they would become permanent.) I decided
to erase the image and burn in a fresh file system image, but it's not
working out so well. Here's the bottom part of what I've tried (yes,
this is a 16MB flash Gumstix):

GUM> protect on 1:0-1
Protect Flash Sectors 0-1 in Bank # 1
.. done
GUM> erase all
Erase Flash Bank # 1 - Warning: 2 protected sectors will not be erased!

Any idea if there's something I can do to solve this? I've tried the
procedure a few times and received the same results.
