Once you have your new Nand chip fitted, It will be necessary to install the bootloader to enable your box to start and recognize your USB port for safe image loading.
This is accomplished via the Cypress board and the Jtag interface, so Yes you will need the Cypress board
Hello All,
I bought a cypress board and I made everything as was in the tutorial.
The cypress board can't connect to my VU+ Solo2.
Broadband Studio 3 shown " disconnected"
Probably I have to change my nand chip, but I would like to be sure that the "disconnected" means that the chip is bricked.
but I think the board has to be connected to the nand if bricked as well, just indicated the bad sectors.
Any idea?

If you are getting [FONT=&]" disconnected" Your Cypress board is not connecting to your Nand chip, this is either bad drivers for your Cypress Board, wrong connections from Jtag to Cypress or no power to Nand.
[/FONT]1st check your Cypress shows in Device Manager as "Broadcom Test Adapter" in "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" when connected to your PC and powered on.
Check your jumper cables from Cypress to Jtag (use only Ground, SDA & SCL) Start BBS, Power on your Cypress then power on your Solo2 (needed to power the Nand Chip) if all above appears correct but your not getting a connection, try swapping SDA and SCL
Also, try with and without the jumper (I've connected successfully with both the 1 and 2 jumper Cypress varients)
