CM-A510 Firmware Update process

Preliminary

Some basic steps are needed to be taken in order to update the CM-A510 firmware successfully:

  • Make sure to power off the CM-A510 board
  • Connect the host PC to the CM-A510 via the serial cable supplied with the CM-A510 evaluation kit.
  • Start terminal console application on your host system and configure the following:
    • Set the serial port to the COM port to which the serial cable is connected.
    • Set baud rate to 115200 bps
    • 8 bit per frame
    • 1 stop bit
    • no parity
    • no flow control
  • Turn on the CM-A510 system
  • The U-Boot boot-loader will start and you will get a command prompt
Admolition note.png If you have an operating system installed or U-Boot environment configured for auto boot, you will have to stop the auto boot sequence by pressing any key in your terminal application during the start of the boot process!

U-Boot firmware can be updated from a Network TFTP download, from a USB flash drive (with FAT/EXT2 filesystem), or from a Hard disk (with FAT/EXT2 filesystem). Either method is done from U-Boot command line.

Preferred U-Boot Update Option

Admolition warning.png DO NOT RESET OR POWER OFF THE MODULE DURING THE UPDATE PROCESS! DOING SO MAY RESULT IN DISABLED MODULE!

In order to use this update method, you need:

  • TFTP service/server installed on your host system
  • Copy the firmware binary image cm-a510-firmware from U-Boot package for CM-A510 to the root directory of TFTP service

To update the U-Boot firmware via tftp download, follow the instructions precisely!

  • You can use U-boot dhcp command to obtain IP address or manually set ipaddr environment variable:
> setenv ipaddr <CM-A510 ip address>
  • Set serverip environment variable and save the new environment to SPI flash:
> setenv serverip <host ip address>
> saveenv
  • Download the firmware using the bubt command.
    • Type: bubt cm-a510-firmware
    • Type: N to preserve the existing U-Boot environment

Other U-Boot Update Options

USB flash drive

Admolition note.png Please, connect your flash drive directly to the base board of the module! Do not use any USB hubs or other separating equipment!
  • Copy the firmware binary image cm-a510-firmware from U-Boot package for CM-A510 to the root directory of USB drive
  • Plug the USB storage device into the USB host connector (P11/P15) on SB-A510.

To update the U-Boot firmware via USB flash drive, follow the instructions precisely!

  • Start the U-Boot USB subsystem and check that your storage device is ready and contains the firmware
    • Type: usb start
    • Type: fatls/ext2ls usb 0 to ensure you have the firmware in place
CM-A510 # usb start

Hard Disk

  • Copy the firmware binary image cm-a510-firmware from U-Boot package for CM-A510 to the root directory of SATA drive
  • Connect SATA drive to the SATA connector P18 of SB-A510

To update the U-Boot firmware via Hard Disk, follow the instructions precisely!

  • Start the U-Boot SATA subsystem and check that your storage device is ready and contains the firmware
    • Type: ide reset
    • Type: fatls/ext2ls ide 0:1 to ensure you have the firmware in place

Network TFTP download

In order to use this update method, you need:

  • Setup a TFTP server
  • Put the firmware binary image cm-a510-firmware in the root directory of the TFTP server
  • Setup U-Boot networking:
for dynamic IP configuration:
# dhcp
or for static IP configuration:
# setenv ipaddr <ip address>
  • Setup the TFTP server ip address:
# setenv serverip <server ip>
  • Load the firmware binary image into the memory:
