5 Summary

A lockup can occur when there is a valid checksum that cannot be cleared, which can be caused by either an incorrect download process or firmware with bugs. To avoid a lockup, check the possible reasons listed and follow the instructions before programming with checksum. If the device is locked, but the firmware is executing normally and PMBus works, the device is able to recover with JTAG. Otherwise, there is no way to save.
