The story so far...
The Thecus N2100 is a nice little OpenBSD/arm platform.
Unfortunately
the currently shipping version has a butchered RedBoot which
ignores the
startup script in the flash configuration memory and insists
on
attempting load the default Linux-based system.
I have a dump of the older flash memory with working RedBoot
image
(thanks Dale) but RedBoot won't flash its own running code.
The only way I can think of replacing the new flash image
with the old
one is to boot OpenBSD and flash the image once RedBoot is
out of the way.
I don't know if a program exists which can write to the
flash - I guess
there are special blocking and timing requirements.
Anyone with any thoughts or alternative ideas?
