Re: [microblaze-uclinux] netflash not working

[Sigmund Homolya <sigmund.homolya@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everybody,

thanks a lot for Your help.
We could erase the flash with a flash test application.
afterwards it was business as usual to get a working image on our board again.
if anyone needs this app please answer to this mail.

greetings, 

Sigi & Raul

P.S. we still don't know, how we got that error working :-)
