Hi i try to update BIOS on my PL8820 and see this error Extracting image Running install.sh
BIOS upgrade from B272 to B282.
*** IMPORTANT ***
The upgrade will try and power cycle the system the next time a reboot is scheduled. It's highly recommended to reboot the system after the upgrade is done.
Type 'yes' to proceed with BIOS upgrade, or 'no' to abort: yes flashrom v0.9.6.1-r1627 on Linux 3.4.18-pl-xeon-plos_64 (x86_64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org

Hello Владимир,
is that a Procera platform and does Procera ship flashrom to its customers? I presume you have found an alternative solution already, but in general - if the device does no longer boot after such a failed attempt - you need to use an external programmer to write a working firmware to the chip again.
