We shall take reasonable precautions to reduce the probability of reflash-brickage to an acceptable level. A level of 0 is neither achievable nor cost-effective.
Will the production boards have pads or a header that can be used by an SPI programmer as a last resort? Shipping one USB based SPI programmer for each region that gets 10K to 100k laptops may be a cost-effective way of fixing the small number of bricks created by than 100% effective measures. It would also permit recovery from a disaster caused by someone incorrectly telling a whole classroom full of students the wrong way to re-flash the laptops. This would require disassembling the laptops but it would be an extremely rare requirement. I guess the question is it cost effective to put the pads or headers on if they almost will never be used. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
