Hello Wolfgang and BenNano'ers,
My expectations are lowered a little. The small beast has arrived. My wife was amused at how small Ben is.I inserted the battery and it booted up and I immediately tried getting to a command prompt, but was not able to find one.I hooked the Ben up to a PC running Windows. Windows did not recognize it, but then the screen blanked out, so I think the Ben is recharging.I'll let him go to sleep and try later. I saw this reflash page:
http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Reflash_ben.sh
and this
http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/pipermail/discussion/2009-September/000463.html
Could I use a Mac laptop running unix to run "sh reflash_ben.sh"?Or, do I have to find a computer running linux to do this?
So, basically I have to do this:download the 4 files (i.e. openwrt-burst...bin....reflash_ben.sh) from the link to my Mac laptop.put 4 files in same folder on my Mac laptop.Follow rest of instructions on the page.
Thanks.
