I said.  I don't know. I was hoping to ask Ron.  :)

I said something about a USB irq routing issue and Jim said something
about still not being able to program the serial flash.

Since we are kinda on the subject.   I'll ask a question I had that
people on the phone call didn't know.

What's going to be the recommended recovery procedure when I brick my hardware?

The ATest board has the additional flash socket loaded so thats an option.
Thats a FWH flash I suppose?  I don't think I have any 1M parts.  What
mfg is everyone else using?

A jtag connector is avialable but what about the software to use it?
There was mention of the fx2? setup that has a GDB interface.

If I've got a simple JTAG card that I can make IO calls to to make
things happen on the jtag bus can I get the info to talk to and to
program the flash?

Or perhaps a mod to this for olpc support.
