Is it now that you were able to get out of that situation?

If so, I think that the next step you need is to erase "SPI-FLASH-ROM".
What are the steps you need next?

Yes, It may sound a bit confusing but no mater what I as not able to boot the board until I connected the TTL to TX and earth and disconnected RX , In that mode you can only monitor the log messages but cannot have any input (if I am not mistaken). That did some something and made the board boot or I just did not realise before the board is actually able to boot ( I was monitoring the DHCP log on my server for a DHCP request on the MAC address).
The board now boots with the 21 and 20 pins short and that is fine with me. The only issue I see so far is that there is no activity LED on the NIC.
I have also attempted to erase and re-flash the SPI ROM without success and the log messages are posted in my previous post,
Looks like either the image files I used are corrupt (but that is ruled out as I tried with another version of the image) or the board just can't boot from spi image files. I can't think of anything else.
Thanks a lot for you help. Much appreciated.
Cheers
