Heystek,
Sorry for the delay in replying.
I'm not sure about the converter script. Every time I've debricked a
roach, I used our USB wiggler, and followed these steps:
http://www2.asiaa.sinica.edu.tw/~homin/wiki/pmwiki-2.1.27/uploads/HiSpeedDigital/fileHow_to_update_uboot_file_if_ROACH_cannot_bootup.pdf
And, this procedure as well...

Hope this helps,
Jason

Hi Jason
I got my hands on a JTAG. I went through the CASPER debricking
tutorial page but I dont understand how to use the converter script?
Do you perhaps know how to use it?
Thanks for all of your help

You've checked that hardware flow control is turned off on
your serial port?
