At one time, the system would fall back to the 'diags' system.
At other times, it would switch to the "Recovery System" that is part of the initramfs code (ram memory system that runs after u-boot prior to either 'main' or 'diags').
Since the initramfs is statically linked into the kernel, that makes it GPL-2, just like the kernel.
But that does not mean that Amazon posts the source code (they don't).
So it will have to be disassembled (IDA Pro maybe?).
Here is the step-by-step of how to get the initramfs binary:

And the extracted sample from 5.6.1.1 is attached.
The procedure remains the same, only the names change with the version change.
PS: If anyone ever did disassemble it, nothing was posted here about it and I never heard any response on the subject.
