Rolling Back a Software Update

Should you want to reload a previous software version into the BROADway system, the process is the same as the one previously outlined, but with one exception. When FTPing the system software file to the BROADway unit, save the file to the /VDISK folder rather than the /FLASH folder. From release

3.08 onwards, software upgrades operate out of working RAM rather than Flash memory. For example:

c:\>ftp 192.168.5.60 Connected to 192.168.5.60.

220 VxWorks (5.4.2) FTP server ready User (192.168.5.60:(none)): ADMIN 331 Password required

Password:

230 User logged in

ftp> cd /VDISK

250 Changed directory to "/VDISK"

ftp> bin

200 Type set to I, binary mode

ftp> put c:\temp\bw304.zip

200 Port set okay

150 Opening BINARY mode data connection

ftp> bye

221 Bye...see you later

Upgrading the Boot ROM

Occasionally, system software releases will be accompanied by a firmware update to the Boot ROM on the NSP101 module. The minimum boot ROM revision required for system release 3.08 is version 1.6. The current revision number is available on the startup screen during the BROADway boot cycle or through the use of the exec-sysTL1 command:

NSP1> exec-sys::nsp:1234::vers;

BROADway	version:		3.04
PS	version:		3.04
DATABASE	version:		2.1
BSP Version		:	1.60
value = 26 = 0x1a
