Hi,
I think I killed the basic power-on NVM. I was strictly following the instructions, when for some reason I chose to do:

>> used serial-boot to get the xloader on to the device.
>> Saved the xloader on NAND
>> Used kermit to down load u-boot-LDP_v1.5.bin
>> Then setup the card to talk to the build system on nfs
>> Downloaded the kernel i built using the distribution from https://omapzoom.org/gf/project/omapkernel/wiki/?pagename=Getting+Stated+with+Linux+OMAP+Kernel
>> Then tried loading the kernel on NAND, -- gave errors
>> The executed "nand <some_option>" which listed bad blocks
>> That told me that the NAND save would not go forward.
>> So I performed the following two operations:
---- nand unlock ; nand erase clean
>> then reloaded kernel from host and saved it using "nand write"

And since then, the Zoom is behaving as below:
On power-up, something boots - my suspicion is the kernel.
But does not find something and reboots

Each reboot cycle is about 5 minutes.

Sometimes I can synch with serial-boot loader, and get some part of u-boot. But then the system halts and reboots before u-boot finishes.

And this repeats for ever.

Is there anyway I can get the system to factory settings?
