A simple cable can be made using a nokia ca-42 cable as discribed [[http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/Use_a_Nokia_Serial_Cable_on_an_ARM9_Linkstation|here]]. The cables can be purchased on eBay quite cheap.

| + | Hit any key to stop autoboot: | ||
| + | press <space> + <1> this will exit the autoboot sequence. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 11. At this point you should be at a boot prompt similar to the following: | ||
| + | Marvell>> | ||
| + | |||
| + | 12. Now you can enter a multitude of commands here (? shows all commands available). For recovery purposes we only need three commands, see #13, #15 and #17. | ||

| + | 13. Flash the kernel image via uboot: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Marvell>> loadb k | ||
| + | |||
| + | you will get this in response: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ## Ready for binary (kermit) download to 0x00400000 at 115200 bps.. | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | <ctrl>+<\> then <c> | ||
| + | |||
| + | then you will need to upload the kernel file | ||
| + | send 103kernel | ||
| + | |||
| + | you should now see a screen showing transfer status. Once it completes (it will take a good 5 minutes or so) move on to #14 . | ||
| + | |||
| + | 14. Verify that the kernel was sent successfully: | ||
| + | hit <c> to go to the console and make sure the image in 13 was accepted ok. You should see | ||
| + | Kernel Size = 1554936 | ||
| + | Copy to Flash... done | ||
| + | note: Size might be different! | ||
| + | |||
| + | 15. Flash the ramdisk image via uboot: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Marvell>> loadb r | ||
| + | |||
| + | you will get this in response: | ||

| + | send 103initrd | ||
| + | |||
| + | you should now see a screen showing transfer status. Once it completes (it will take a good 15 minutes or so) move on to #16 . | ||
| + | |||
| + | 16. Verify that the ramdisk was sent successfully: | ||
| + | hit <c> to go to the console and make sure the image in 15 was accepted ok. You should see: | ||
