update to match the automatic recovery script
== Introduction ==
This article describe how to recover a corrupted U-Boot image on Lizard NOR Flash using a Windows host machine.
 
In brief user needs to:
* configure Lizard SOM to boot over serial port instead of on board NOR flash
* download and prepare serial communication tools
* use those tools to download first stage bootloader and U-Boot over UART
* use this U-Boot to update NOR flash
This assume that you're using a standard [[Lizard Embedded Linux Kit (LELK)|LELK]] hardware and software.
== Tool Preparation ==
* Download the [[mirror:lizard/recovery/lizard-recovery.zip archive |lizard-Recoveryrecovery.zip archive]] and extract it on your Windows PC * If needed, replace the u-boot.bin file with your custom binary or download the latest LELK binary from [[mirror:lizard|DAVE Embedded Systems mirror]]
* Open the command prompt and go inside the folder where you extracted the recovery file
* Launch the utility with the serial port number as the argument
<pre>
C:\Users\Desktop\lizard-Recovery\lizard> .\uart-recovery.bat COM1
</pre>The tools is now waiting for the board to wakeup{{InfoBoxTop}}

== Board Preparation ==
* Power down off the board and set the deep dip switch <code>S2.2 1 configuration.ON</code> to select serial boot* Connect the serial console '''UART2''' to the <ode>PORT2 of your board.host PC* Turn on the board.
== Flashing the firmware ==
Once the board boot up, after a couple of seconds of delay, the recovery procedure will start.
If everything was set correctlyThe script is totally automated and, in case of success, this message should appear on your screen<pre> ASIC ID Detected. Sending 2ndFile: Downloading file: 100.000% completed(15232/15232 bytes) File download completed. In attesa da 0 secondi.
