Hi,  
I got my srv-1 cam last week. I only have cam and breakout board, no matchport or wifi. these are my first steps.
I try to connect with a serial level converter based on MAX3232 which is powered from the 3.3V on the break out board. I use standard com port on my pc. windows xp.
 
- SRV1 Console only report "wrote 'I'" But no reply, no picture.
 
Then I tried to connect with Terminal program, no output at boot time, no response on any command.
 
Then I thought baudrate in srv-1 might be set wrong.
 
I used your sequence:
 
********************************************************************************

Note that if you are doing this recovery with a direct 3.3V UART connection at 115kbps, use these instructions instead -
 
1.  Download a special 115kbps version of SRV-1 firmware from here -
   http://www.surveyor.com/blackfin/srv1.ldr.recovery
 
2. Download and run http://www.dolomitics.com/downloads/ldrviewer.html
Load the recovery file
 
3. Remove jumper on 7/8, then power up Blackfin
 
4. Run UART Boot, uncheck 'Evaluate CTS'
click 'Test Port'
short pins 1/2
Click Autobaud
click Send DXE
wait until you see 'done' and you see the yellow LED's cycle
 
5. Put jumper back onto 7/8, close ldrViewer
 
6. Open up a terminal program with baud rate set to 115200, type V to see the version string displayed, then type X, wait for CCCC, then do XModem transfer of correct ldr file.
Wait until done, then type zZ to save firmware to boot flash sectors
 
7. Reset or power cycle Blackfin  
 
 ******************************************************************
I used the srv1.ldr.recovery file.
Till step 5 everything went fine. Comport tested, Autobaud response: Blackfin replied correctly. DLH=0x01, DLL=0x1F, SCLK=44,1MHz. Then I sent DXE. This also seems to went fine.  Then "done".
On the camera red led went on, after 2 seconds the two yellow ones went on.
But no response to step 6. No Version string displayed.
 
I still don't get a any response or output on  my terminal program! Hardware connection should be fine as Autobaud replies correctly. Which terminal do you use? I use AVRterm
I use 115KBaud 8Bit No Parity 1 Stop in my terminal
 
With srv1Console still no picture.
 
Power is stable at 3,3V
 
What's wrong??? Any hints?

I make all settings again without Baudrate where i let 9600. After that a save the configuration and i exit from putty.
I enter again in putty and i change Baudrate at: -1, save and lave.
I enter again and I set
 in 0 Server menu I have changed  
..
..Set netmask (0 default) [ at me apear 1], so i change it to 0.
...
Save and exit
Now work verry good all.
 
Resume:
Expert (5) -    
     for CPU performance, enter FF  
     for clk?, enter 81  
     change MTU Size from 1400 to 1024  
     skip the rest of the options  
  Channel 1 Serial (1) -    
     //for Baudrate, enter -1 without this
     //for divisor, enter 2  without this
     for flow control, enter 2  
     further down, for FlushMode, enter 80  
     for Pack Cntrl, enter C0  
     for InterCh Time, enter 3  
     skip the rest of the options  
  Save and exit (9)  
Again in menu:
 Channel 1 Serial (1) -    
     for Baudrate, enter -1  
     for divisor, enter 2  
     skip the rest of the options  
 Server(0)
     for set netmask , enter 0
     and it's something like set netmask enable, enter N or if it's Y you will be set your network netmask
Thanks a lot.

Netmask setting of 8 would set 255.255.255.0

Try a different terminal program such as puTTY.

I got the same problem last week.
I tried to restore the firmware and did as above. There is one thing different that I configured the Matchport via the web browser. Everything is OK, but I can not connect with the SRV1 via the Tera term.  
So how should I do to this now?

Hello
 
I did this firmware restoring tutorial but my robot still not work. I can upload the lastest version of the firmware and the zZ command works too:
 
##Xmodem success. Count:    109952
##zZ boot image write count:    131072
 
In the last step I changed the settings, but I did not find 'divisor' in Channel 1:
 
Channel 1 Serial (1):
 
   Baudrate (115200) ? 9600
   I/F Mode (4C) ?  
   Flow (00) ? 2
   Port No (10001) ?
   ConnectMode (C0) ?
   Send '+++' in Modem Mode  (Y) ?
   Show IP addr after 'RING'  (Y) ?
   Auto increment source port  (N) ?
   Remote IP Address : (000) .(000) .(000) .(000)
   Remote Port  (0) ?
   DisConnMode (00) ?  
   FlushMode   (00) ? 80
   Pack Cntrl  (00) ? C0
   InterCh Time  (0) ? 3
   DisConnTime (00:00) ?:
   SendChar 1  (00) ?
   SendChar 2  (00) ?
 
Expert (5):
 
   TCP Keepalive time in s (1s - 65s; 0s=disable):  (45) ?
   ARP Cache timeout in s (1s - 600s) :  (600) ?
   CPU performance (0=Regular, 1=Low, 2=High):  (00) ? FF
   clk?  (48) ? 81
   Disable Monitor Mode @ bootup (N) ?
   HTTP Port Number :  (80) ?
   SMTP Port Number :  (25) ?  
   MTU Size (512 - 1400):  (1400) ? 1024
   Enable alternate MAC (N) ?
   Ethernet connection type:  (0) ?
 
 
 
After that I save settings and restart the robot and connect to it with tera term but it does not react for any command.
 
Any idea what I do wrong?
 
Thanks.

I followed every steps you mentionned in this tutorial and I can't get my Blackfin to use the default SRV-1 firmware again... (I'm back from a journey playing with uClinux :p)
 
I have a message stating that the XMODEM transfer was a success, and zZ seems to execute properly. I checked a hundred times the Matchport configuration and I'm pretty sure they are all set to enable 2500kbps.
 
When I reboot the card, the yellow LED doesn't glow and it seems that nothing is executed on the card.
 
Do you have any further advice to restore srv1.ldr ?
