Hi Don!

I followed your instructions.

After completing step 15, restart the ts7260 board, but the system does not boot.

Only the following message appears repeatedly:


>> TS-SDBOOT - built Aug 10 2009
>> Copyright (c) 2007, Technologic Systems


>> TS-SDBOOT - built Aug 10 2009
>> Copyright (c) 2007, Technologic Systems


>> TS-SDBOOT - built Aug 10 2009

Is there any way to recover the boot?

NOTE: The following procedure is IRREVERSIBLE.

1.Download the tsbootrom-update from ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7200-linux/binaries/ts-utils/tsbootrom-update and put it onto a USB flash drive.
2.Boot into a stock TS-7260 using the development interface. Type 'root' to log in.
3.run /usr/bin/loadUSBModules.sh
4.Plug in the USB flash drive and you will see a message indicating where it is mounted (e.g. /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 ).
5.Type mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt . This will mount the device at /mnt .
6.Copy tsbootrom-update from the /mnt directory over onto the /root directory.
7.Return to /root and type umount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 to unmount the device. THIS MUST BE DONE or you risk corrupting the file system (if there is one) on the USB device upon power down or removal.
8.Type mac=`ifconfig eth0 | grep HWaddr | cut -d' ' -f11`
9.Then type tsbootrom-update -s -m $mac NOTE: If this is not done you will lose your MAC address forever.
10.Place the SD card into the TS-7260 SD card slot and reboot the TS-7260.
11.You should boot into the fastboot shell after a few seconds. From within the shell, type the following:
12.ln -sf /linuxrc-sdroot /linuxrc
13.sync
14.save
15.reboot This should boot the TS7260 to a login prompt on the Debian file system of the SD card. You may have to try creating this link a few times before it actually saves.
16.See this link (http://www.embeddedarm.com/software/arm-linux-fastboot-ts7300.php) for more information.
