here's the pic you're asking for.
where is spi flash then ?
there is no longer a SPI Flash,all the new modems are nand flash only. and they have Bad blocks to prevent it from being copied so far.
I don't need to copy the firmware, only flash to the NAND. How do I do that? I can compile the firmware from ARRIS, they released it! It's open source, documented link in My first post.
I'm looking into modding & compiling the firmware now. I have an SoC(Jetson TK1) if needed. I should be able to flash to NAND, skipping bad blocks, and the modem will run the My custom firmware just fine. Sounds perfect to Me.
