I am not surprised of that, the all so common bootloader madness hits
again. Anyway, I can try with the bootloader tag you used hopefully next
week and see if I can figure out something. The l3init problem can
probably be fixed rather easily if it is because of the USB, but the
tesla / ivahd might be more problematic... last time I saw that problem
I wasn't able to recover from the situation without power on reset...
bootloader took the tesla out of reset and it seemed impossible to put
it back to idle after that. I tried resetting the DSP but it didn't
help. Also, I didn't find a bootmode register similar to what omap3 has.
