If you can get into upgrade mode (alternating red/green led), then it is *extremely* unlikely that your slug is bricked. Once it's in upgrade mode, the redboot telnet interface cli command parser is not operable - that is normal. Note that the SerComm upgrade protocol which upslug2 implements uses a non-standard ethernet packet type (i.e. lower level than IP packets), so is *highly* susceptible to filtering by network devices. Don't assume upslug2 is not working until you have tried a direct cross-over cable connection between the slug and a Linux host that is not running a firewall. Even being able to ping a device (which is one level above IP) is not a guarantee that something in your network is filtering upgrade ethernet packets (which are one level below IP). -- Rod
