The SerialBlaster comes with a patch to add instructions to Redboot that can 
read and write the EEPROM image.

I think I put a readme in that explains it. There may be more information in 
the SerialBlaster code, or previous posts.

As far as getting a new image to burn. You can find an EEPROM image on the TS 
ftp site (I believe). Or grab a good image from a working card. Check the 
SerialBlaster directory to see if I left a bin image there.

Another solution is to build the SerialBlaster as a "Burnable Image". In this 
case you will have your own boot image! And you can customize it. The 
serialblaster eeprom image should be customized for your board's 
configuration before you build it. And you should use a patched version of 
RedBoot, as the eeprom image skips the TS intermediate boot image and boots 
RedBoot directly. So I had to move some functionality to RedBoot, 'cause I 
didn't have the space for this in the 2KB EEPROM.

Sometime just the fist byte of the EEPROM is bad, usually a zero, instead of 
'C' for "CRUS" signature. You can fix just this byte and everything might 
work. 

Good Luck,
-Curtis.
