Hello All,
Petr, since the 'tsbootrom-update' is neither available on 'fastboot-linux'
nor on 'flash-linux' OS, I booted Linux 2.4 through SD card that's where I
found this 'tsbootrom-update' utility.And then I followed these two steps that
you mentioned. As a result the 'fastboot-linux' was completely wiped out. Now
the board won't boot at all unless I have Linux-2.4 SD card on it. I think I
will have to buy their JTAG device to restore the 'fastboot-linux' or put
Redboot or Uboot bootloader on it.Of course I can see that you were trying to
help me but I am just revealing it what happened to rectify the issue. So any
help from someone of you will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kailash
