Can anyone provide a better image of the memory chip in the camera board? GD25Q128c
Closing because noone is working on it and it is not trivial to play with the flash memory. Re-open if required (providing support to resolve it)
Did you try that "old" recovery image from Xiaomi forum? Could it just boot up (somehow?) and recover u-boot? You might be the only one with a bricked camera tho.
@andreq the cam have not booted after NSBoot at all. No U-Boot boot was possible (afaik).
@andreq I created this issue for another person who mesh with the partition and broke something. Without too much experience the only solution I see is to flash the system directly to the chip. But it is up to that user to play with it.
@willthrom yeah, forgot if it was you or @snoerenberg who had a bricked camera.
none of us actually, was someone else
I'll go hide in a cave and try to wake up a bit more! Sorry for the spam
no worries. this is a closed issue anyway.
This is a work in progress..... Gathering information

JTAG not evaluated yet.... PIN? Board Support?
