How to recovery AP from u-boot mode (AP2800/AP3800)

The following is the recovery method when the AP stuck in u-boot mode. It should be noted that these methods have certain risks.

1. Change the bootcmd variable

It is possible for the AP to be in u-boot mode when the bootcmd variable changes for some reason. We can execute the following commands in u-boot mode, and the AP can boot normally.

setenv bootcmd nandboot  <<< Set to nandboot
saveenv  <<< Save configuration
boot  <<< Reload the AP

2. Change partition

Another possibility is that there is a problem with the partition of the AP. Since there are two AP partitions (part1 and part2), we can switch to another partition and try to boot.

printenv BOOT  <<< Check the current configuration
setenv BOOT <part1 part2="">  <<< Change to another partition
saveenv  <<< Save configuration
boot  <<< Reload the AP</part1>
