flashing over serial port

[jd02902]

Flashing the 5101 is in fact possible over serial, for serial is just another port of telnet, what you can do in telnet, can be done through serial, and when I did this, it was flash bootloader through blackcat, then use bootloader to tftp the desired firmware.. through serial. Not dissing the tut here, but those rather incorrect statement's to the contrary

We did'nt all disappear..

Hi Canis,
Can you enlighten us on how this procedure is actually done? I'm new to this and this sounds like something I would like to try as I'm waiting on my jtag programming to come in.
Thanks a bunch,
JD
