Re:Sandstorm vs Fury and Device Recovery
The Sandstorm class devices are the 28- and 48-pin devices, and the Fury class are the 100- and 108-pin devices.
One thing you might want to try with your lock-up problem on Fury class devices is raising the LDO voltage to 2.75V to compensate for the PLL errata. This errata can cause your device to act strangely.
Unfortunately the Sandstorm class devices don't have the recovery mechanism like the Fury devices do. The recovery mechanism relies on timing, so if the offending clock configuration, JTAG pin switch, or whatever else happens before the debugger can break in, you're out of luck. You also need to use an evaluation board in debug out mode to unlock a Sandstorm class device since the eval boards have control over the RSTn signal through the FTDI chip. The timing sequence relies on precisely timed reset and JTAG sequences. The RSTn signal on the JTAG header of the eval board should be attached to the RSTn signal of the target board.
