On recent versions of UEFI, with the "local FDT" modifications, using the Boot Menu "[2] Update Boot Device Entry" can sometime corrupt the config, meaning that NOR flash has to be erased before you can configure the board again.
To erase the NOR flash, you follow these steps:
1) mount the USBMS
2) edit /media/xxxxx/SOFTWARE/TC2/bootscr.txt
At the moment it says "fl run uefi". Back it up (copy it to
bootscr.orig or something). Put a # in front of that line so the
script is effectively empty, or just delete the line
3) unmount USBMS
4) reboot the board
5) you'll end up at the Boot Monitor command prompt
6) enter the command "flash", the command prompt will change to "Flash> "
7) enter the command "eraseall", this will erase the whole of NOR flash.
8) when it completes, after 10 or 15 mins, I think, maybe longer,
enter the command "exit"
9) then enter the command "usb_on"
10) mount the USBMS
11) restore bootscr.txt
12) unmount USBMS
13) enter the command "reboot" on the board |
