The EEPROM on FPP capes will sometime become corrupt which bricks the controller.
The instructions in the link and attachment were created by ACL's Skymaster to assist me with some fiddling I was doing with cape EEPROM images. Included in the instructions is the process to erase/zero all of the eeprom which will then allow a fresh eeprom image to be burnt to the eeprom which unbricks the controller.
It would be nice to have the EEPROM erasing as a script but I have no idea how to do that so it remains a 10+ step process.
Something that didn't make it into the document is that when entering the user and pass to login the text being typed in isn't shown presumably for security purposes.
