The best procedure to follow depends on why you are trying to program the flash on your AMC13. If you just want to update to the latest version, follow these instructions: AMC13Tool2Recipes#UpdateFirmware

If you suspect that the flash memory has somehow been corrupted and the board doesn't respond, there are a couple of possible causes and various solutions. If you can ping the T2 address at least (see IPaddressAssignment) then try using AMC13ToolFlash.

If both of those fail, maybe you don't actually know the IP address of your module? It can be set in various ways, including a RARP daemon and via the EEPROM on the MMC. This was mandated by CMS and can result in a difficult recovery situation.

Anyway, if you can't talk to your module and want to attempt recovery using JTAG, read on...

NOTE: You generally should not have to program via JTAG unless your firmware has become corrupted and the AMC13 software can no longer talk to your module. If this is not the case and you can in fact communicate with your AMC13, please use the Python/C++ tools and follow the directions at the above links
