Ralink CPU datasheets mention an iNIC boot mode without describing what it does. For example the RT5350 supports iNIC-USB and iNIC PHY boot modes.
Has anyone tried activating these modes? Do they trigger a boot sequence of some kind from USB or Ethernet? I suspect that is what these modes do. The chip has 16KB boot ROM which is a lot of code. Maybe this is a generic MIPS boot ROM? If so, this is a way to unbrick Ralink devices without using a JTAG. It is also a way to bootstrap a board with an empty flash chip. If someone has info on these modes it would be very helpful for my current project. -- Jon Smirl jonsm...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
