Couple of things to check: - is the device in deep sleep mode when you run the mxt-app command? can you try doing "mxt-app [device] -W -T7 FFFF" which will make sure it is definitely not sleeping first. - if you do "mxt-app [device] -i" straight after the --flash failure, does it respond (which would mean it hasn't actioned the reset-into-bootloader command) > I also found that removing the module (even without attempting a FW update) > yields: > > After attempted FW update via sysfs: > >> root@localhost:~# rmmod ./atmel_mxt_ts.ko >> [ 81.995672] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000364 Not good. It's trying to free an input device which isn't registered at that point. In a later patch in my series I add a guard around that (mxt_free_input_device): https://github.com/ndyer/linux/commit/bb4800ff8c185 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
