A friend of mine whose business had been using these Wyse WT3125se’s as terminal machines for work purposes had a few of these things in storage, gave me one. After some googling, I discovered that they could be turned into semi-usable linux boxes, maybe basic non flash web surfing/checking email etcetera.

So I followed a guide, used a script (http://www.mowson.org/karl/articles/linux-netxfer/) on my existing ubuntu machine in lieu of tracking down MS Java/running netxfer or setting up a PXE environment and was able to reflash to a more current version of CE I downloaded from Wyse’s archived discontinued product support section.

I have downloaded hacked firmware from this site: http://li-la.de/pub/baldar/Compaq_Evo_T20/Firmwares/ and have attempted to flash to it, but have been unsuccessful.

The terminal hangs on the message “Initializing NAND flash data…” and will not proceed any further.

Does the problem lie with the bootp.bin I am using, or is something else going on here?

Looks like there is a problem with the image you have push on the client.

Greetings! My name is Jim Lathan, and I am a nerd, Diginerd is what my friends know me as. I have been with Dell about 20 years serving in many roles; mostly Systems Engineer. My history with Wyse starts years before the Dell acquisition. Before the purchase of Wyse, I and a hand full of system engineers guided dell to desktop virtualization leading to Dell developing its first Thin Client. Having kickstarted the VDI strategy I moved to the Client Product Group where I co-launched Dells VDI-in-a-box and participated in the vetting of the thin client industry which led to Dell purchasing Wyse. Once the acquisition was completed, I moved back into a systems engineer role to help educate and promote the new Dell / Wyse solutions. Years later, I have been active in providing feedback and new product evaluations for Wyse and other VDI related solutions. I am also continuing to educate myself and build experiences with Citrix, VMware, Microsoft, and cloud-based solutions. So, what makes me a Diginerd? My other technical passions is Raspberry Pi’s, 3D printers, laser cutters, Ham radio, and I love to learn about technologies big and small, old and new. My hobbies include renovating Commodore 64s, old school electronics and learning Linux. I also enjoy camping and being with my family. I want to finish by thanking Thomas for a tremendous job of building Techincalhelp. I pledge to you all that I will give it my all and do my best to fill his shoes.
