Hi all, I've found a lot of messages regarding bootloader issue after the 
piggyback procedure (short pin1 and pin2 and hard reset) to bring back to life 
a death simpad (this is generally done after problems with the software update 
option from siemens).

If you are lucky enough to have the simpad loading the piggyback bootloader you 
are stuck to the alternate bootloader 2.4 It seems there's any way to install 
windows ce 4.x images, nor to add another bootloader (any try will return the 
following message:  
"Base   : 0x1080014 Size 27371523 entry:0x4081000
 Overlap: 1080014-2a9a817   && 1f00014-1f74b9c
 Will fail -- try to load alternate loader: loader.alt")

Now I've spent hours digging the web trying to find an answer to this issue. 
None has never found a solution.

It's not clear to me if the new bootloader source posted by Walter Schweizer is 
a fix. Unfortunately I haven't any complete linux installation. I've tried to 
compile the source with a fresh Mandrake 10 but probably I miss too much 
libraries.

Is there any soul good enough to mail me a compiled version of this bootloader 
(I think it should be the one called "bootldr-simpad01.tar.bz2" on sourceforge)?

Thanks


Massimo
