Inadvertently reformatted N1524P

Question

I was trying to reset an N1524P to factory defaults and inadvertently selected the option to reformat the filesystem instead. Now the switch boots only to a u-boot menu. I tried to reload the firmware via TFTP, but I get an Error: Ethernet external port not connected. I've found instructions to n2000 series but it has different specifications, as no 'oob port' or 'loady' command. How can I recover this switch?

Download this firmware (it is not the latest one)

in the zip file you have the pdf about how to upgrade the switch.

Please follow the procedure to recovery.

Marco. It doesn't have the ' Boot Main Menu' option... Only 'u-boot' prompt...
