By default the TS-9420 expects to connect to an NFS root at 192.168.0.11.  As there is only 8MB of flash on this board you will need to set up an external NFS root to house the rest of the TS-72XX filesystem.  For the kernel and initrd we have images that you can use here depending on your board configuration:

Overview

The TS-9420 is a production tool used for mass replicating software on the Technologic Systems' ARM and X86 series of Single Board Computers. It can be used in conjunction with the TS-9422 POST Code Display Board in order to provide additional information during programming.

Getting Started

TS-9420-ARM

Using the TS-9420 in conjunction with a TS-72XX series board you can recover from almost any state. While you can use an NFS root with a bad debian filesystem with a board, the TS-9420 will even allow you to boot a system that otherwise has a corrupt redboot. To boot to the TS-9420, most commonly you will want dip switches 1 and 2 down, with the rest up. This will boot to the TS-9420, and set it in ARM mode.
