Hi,

When the UBL or the Uboot on a Leopard Board fail, it gets bricked, however there is a easy way to recover it.

Attached is an article developed by my students at Technological Institute of Costa Rica, about how to recover a bricked Leopard Board by using the Serial Flasher utility, with all the steps involved in this process.

Regards,

The best way to restore flash is SD card boot and flashing tool. Download it and configure it to use u-boot from LeopadBoard site. Much more faster than serial flash utility.
