If anything goes wrong during this process (power shortage, mistype, etc.) the board will be BRICKED (broken). Keep in mind that warranty does not cover Carambola3 module if it is damaged due to user's fault.

1. Install tftp server.

3. Set 192.168.1.254 IP address on your tftp server's ethernet interface.

4. Reboot Carambola3 and press ESC when prompted to enter bootloader then press <Ctrl+C> a few times to clear console buffer.

5. Set local and server IP addresses:

setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
setenv serverip 192.168.1.254

6. Download u-boot binary into Carambola3's RAM.

tftp 80060000 caraboot-carambola3-v2.7.bin
