Recently one of our unit's flash is got corrupted. Bcoz of that, one module is not started. So watch dog is rebooting the unit with-in 2 Sec after booting up.
We thought of booting that unit in NFS and mount the JFFS Data partition for recovering the data file, address book, from that flash. Fortunately the boot delay is Zero. So we coun't do anything.
Is there any trick to get the prompt ??
Attach a BDI200, disable the watchdog in the initscript, and go on...
If you want, you can even erase and re-program the flash environment for example using data you got from another, working system.
[If you don't have a BDI2000: buy one.]
