FSM7326P Not booting past U-Boot

Hi Everyone.

 

I have a FSM7326P that will not boot past U-Boot.  Something about magic number missing (firmware gone).  I am starting the very long process of uploading the firmware via Serial cable.  Once the upload is finished (loadb in uboot), is there anything special that I need to do?

 

Thanks!

  • I did the file transferr, and it just sat there afterwards.  I pressed Control Break and it said 0 bytes transferred, so obviously there is some sort of EOF sequence that I was supposed to hit, but didn't.

     

    Anyone that can assist loading firmware through U-Boot would be aoorecuiated.

        Unfortunately I cannot boot past U-Boot to get to the Utility menu referenced in this article.  

         

        I can get into U-Boot and it has an option (loadb) to upload firmware through there, I just need to know the steps to do that.

         

        Thanks!
