    Hi Tom,<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I mounted the boot filesystem&nbsp; (the correct offset is&nbsp; 0x400000&nbsp;
    ) but by default there isn't a boot.ini file...&nbsp; I created one with
    the content<br>
    <br>
    [system]<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp; erase = 1<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    ... but still no succes.<br>
    <br>
    Well, I'll try to do serveral more tests....<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for your time.<br>

        <div>i think you should change the boot.ini file that on the sd
          card. You can mount the boot fat file system on PC and change
          it, the offset for the first partition is 21MB or 36 MB, you
          can try to mount with -o loop,offset option.</div>

                        <br>
                        I don't know if this happens to someone else ...<br>
                        <br>
                        When updating the firmware on several A10
                        devices I have found a<br>
                        significant difference when using the Livesuit
                        application via usb cable<br>
                        or using the Phonenixcardapplication.<br>
                        While the first one allows you to format the
                        flash memory (answering yes<br>
                        to the popup question ) ... &nbsp;the second one does
                        not allow this option<br>
                        (or at least I have not found it) so the result
                        &nbsp;is that only overwrites<br>
                        existing dataso &nbsp;it can happen that not all data
                        are reseted.<br>
                        <br>
                        Does anyone know (hey Mr. Cubie) about an option
                        to force the memory<br>
                        flash format using the sd card &nbsp;build with the
                        Phoenixcard tool?<br>
                        <br>
                        Thanks in advance.<br>
