Khalid,
Thank you for your response! Most people do not notify when their problem is
solved and the only evidence of "it worked" is that they disappear.
The newer Elphel cameras are going to help to de-mine Ukraine:

Hello Andrey,
IT WORKED!
For those who have the older 353L, if you are a beginner like me it took two
days
All three cameras 353L including the Hammer worked perfectly with prof353
I
downloaded kubuntu version 14.04 from here
https://ftp.sun.ac.za/ftp/iso-images/kubuntu/14.04.4/
And followed steps here https://wiki.elphel.com/wiki/Prod353
Thank you Andrey for your kind help and VERY high end open source Cameras

Hello Andrey,
Thank you very much for your help
I just noticed the three cameras model is NC353L (see attached)
I just want to make sure its the model you are talking about
In pod353 I reached this command stage:
cvs -d:pserver:mailto:anonym...@elphel.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/elphel login
and it asked for a password (I tried pass, password)
Do you know the password?
Also I am wondering if you have a service for maintenance where I can send the
three cameras by DHL so that you can service it
Because it seems really complicated and I am not that good
Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

Khalid,
I'll look into it. You may need older kubuntu version (I have 14.04 running
with prof353)
We use prod353 software for reflashing ( https://wiki.elphel.com/wiki/Prod353)
that does not require working camera - it uses low-level ROM of the processor .
Seems the CVS installation still works as described there. Alternative source
of mentioned 8.0 software -
https://sourceforge.net/p/elphel/elphel353-8.0/ci/master/tree/
The ETRAX processor uses special Ethernet packet for initial boot. These
packets may be blocked by some switches so it is better to avoid them. After
the initial boot prod353 uses NFS to transfer firmware and write it to flash.
It is very beneficial if
you can connect serial port of the camera (https://wiki.elphel.com/wiki/10369,
https://wiki.elphel.com/wiki/10369#J16_-_RS-232) using USB-to-serial adapter
and use minicom to capture camera boot messages - even seemingly dead camera
may output something meaningful. Minicom installation/configuration is similar
to https://wiki.elphel.com/wiki/Using_minicom_to_connect_to_Elphel393_camera
To start testing/flashing process (prod353 will first try to boot over the
network before flashing) you will need to put camera in special boot.mode. If
it is older 10353 board version (rev D or earlier) that has a button below
network connector, you need
to press and hold the button before inserting network with power. You may
release the button 2 seconds after the power is on. If the 10353 is rev E (no
button) you need to repetitively connect/disconnect network connector 5 times
or more with 1-2 seconds period
and leave it connected after the last insertion.

Thank you so much Andrey for your reply.
Now I know why its not responding
I have three and really wish to experiment with them
Can you please tell me the page link for reflashing
so that I start or the software you will try try to produce will do reflashing
by it self?
Thank you very much for your help

Khalid,
We still have software installed on one computer, I'll look how to reproduce
it. Our experience shows that old cameras need reflashing, as over time flash
memory looses some data.

Hello,
I bought many years ago two NC353L-369-HDD and one Hammer camera MNC354-2B-HDD
Around 11 years ago it came with your flash drive (like a credit card) with a
bootable kubutnu linux
Now the kubutnu linux is not working
Now I am retired and I want to experiment with them
Can you please guide me which page I can find the latest software for both
cameras (better Windows OS) or linux
Thank you so much
Khalid M.
