firmload

firmload

The firmload program is used to download a complete set of standard firmware files to all hardware modules on all boards in a system. The standard firmware files are listed in Chapter 9 in the installation and configuration guide that came with your software and in the Release Notes. Downloads, by default, are attempted for all hardware modules in the range 2 through 0xFD.

The firmware consists of several types, by number, that must be downloaded in the proper sequence. firmload automatically takes care of identifying the proper files and downloading them in the correct sequence.

The sequence is as follows:

Type 2 (PROC_APP) = Control processor firmware Type 1 (DSP_APP) = DSP firmware

Bfv API debug mode is turned on. The firmload program is found in the bapp.src directory.

This program was previously a script/batch file. The old version of firmload is supplied as firmload_old in the bapp.src directory.

...]

Arguments

 

-c <conf_spec>
