lost a bootloader with a badly done (my fault) openwrt flash and now trying to reprogram a removed 8 pin MX25L3206E flash chip using SPIPGM program and a simple parallel printer interface.
I have full access to this 4 MB chip, able to
1)(I)dentify chip
2)(E)rase entire Flash Rom
3)(D)ump entire Flash Rom to a file
4)(U)nlock write protection
5)(P)rogram entire Flash Rom
Altough I uploaded a correct Dlink file, and verified Flash Rom content after (compared), -----router still does not boot !
Are the bootloader files included in the firmware files?
If YES, maybe they need to go a special address ?
Maybe I need to program first bootloaders U-boot file or Redboot file ?
If YES, are they supposed to go a special address or just into an empty ROM ?
Any input would be appreciated !
Thanks!
