Ohhh... I see. I had gotten the impression that it did, guess I misinterpreted some stuff.

Next question then: can 0xFFFF (through USB) flash N900 eMMC images, or only the rootfs ones? I also ended up with the understanding that it could, but now I suspect I may have misunderstood somewhere along the line as well.

Ah. I had assumed maybe gitorious provided one by default for every project - or at least something roughly like a bug tracker, kinda like GitHub's "Issues". *Shrug*

No, flashing eMMC images needs support for Mk II flashing protocol. And support for Mk II is not implemented. On gitorious git there is basic support for Mk II where 0xFFFF can identify device (hw revision, firmware version) and reboot it (via Mk II), but nothing more.

If somebody has time, in 0xFFFF git there is some documentation in doc/mkii.

Okay. Thanks for bearing with me and catching me up on that.

Someday I will have leet-haxor reversing skillz and then I will hopefully be able to contribute something to 0xFFFF to make those features a reality. *Sigh* Or so I can dream at least.

In the meantime, now I have to find a copy of flasher-3.5 that will run on Debian (or the Windows one... worst case scenario I can use that one too). I had been saving the Windows one for years, then switched to Debian just last summer, and proceeded to delete the Windows one thinking "meh, why do I need that now".

I think I'll package 0xFFFF for Arch. But - can we consider the git version stable or should I rather use the repository.maemo.org sources (released 2014)

Use last released version and important, use original libusb0.1 (not some compatibility layer).

Current git master is currently broken due to migration to libusb1.0. But libusb1.0 is buggy and cannot be used for Nokia devices...

Tarball in first post (that from r.m.o) contains last version, use that.

So, here it is: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/0xffff/

Oh, hell, thanks for pointing it out. I was pretty sure that libusb-compat is just a fancy name for the old libusb!
So it seems there's no original libusb 0.1 for Arch right now. This shouldn't be hard, though.

Just wondering, what exactly happens while using libusb 1.0 with Nokia devices? And is the Nokia flasher affected as well?

Used it all under Arch 3 or 4 times and I'm wondering, how much luck I've had.
