Firmware update hangs

I got a new WS1.1 Premier starter kit, tried to build 2.19.0 but the kernel was crashing.

Tried to upgrade the firmware, but it failed to download bl2 srec. Now, it is not even booting into u-boot.

I tried downloading the firmware from windows PC (Teraterm) and Linux (minicom), boot params is getting programmed. I can't program none of the other firmware as given in the instructions.

Either it hangs after sending the file (bl2, bl32, cert), or over size error (uboot)

Any inputs to recover the board is welcome.

yeah, following the exact instruction in your link. After downloading the bl2 the mini monitor is stuck.

I see that the board can boot into SCIF download, is it possible recover the board by this route?
