Hello,
I seem to have bricked my Mini 0801. I tried to load a FW that I attempted to modify with the Ambarella tool from Tobias (the newer one, not Rom Kitchen)
The camera asked if I want to update FW, it said processing, then I heard a weird sound from the speaker and it went dead.
Seems bricked. When I turn it on, I just get a black screen with blue light and nothing else. I got a USB OTG cable + the Male to Male cable and when I plug the camera into my computer with this, the red light comes on only.
My computer (Windows 7 - 32bit) makes the "new device sound" but it's different. It's not the traditional "plugged in" or "unplugged" sound; it's more of a triple tone sound; it doesn't sound like a successful sound, more like something is wrong.
I tried following the unbricking instructions on the Mini 0801 FAQ, but the instructions seems a little half-baked, and seems to assume one already knows how to use the DirectUSB software.
When I click "Connect" in DiretUSB, it just says:
"Found 0 AMBA Device"
Sometimes it says:
"Found 1 busses, 0 devices changed
Found 0 AMBA device!"
Same message when I select a .inf file or a .elf file and click "Download" (using the FW Programming option and "Verify" is checked). I can't get any further than this...
Also, when I plug in the camera with the OTG cable, my Device Manager does not list the "libusb-win32 devices/Ambarella Evaluation Board 1.2.3.0".
Please Help
Thanks!
