EP8260

[deepesh at india.tejasnetworks.com]

Hi,

  I loaded my EP8260 board with UBOOT. This was working fine. Then I loaded a
binary into RAM using tftp. Then tried copying the stuff to flash. When I could
not copy things into flash directly, I erased a few sectors randomly and then
copied the binary to flash. Then when I reset the board, it did not come up.

I put back the u-boot into the flash using BDI2000. But now I am getting weird
characters on the screen. I have looked at the minicom settings-- It is 115200
and 8N1. These were the settings with which I was working before also. What I am
not able to understand is the reason for the weird characters.

I am attaching the weird character file. The last line seems to be the U-BOOT
prompt. I tried changing the TERMINAL SETTINGS to ANSI from VT100, but it did
not help.
