Loading new firmware images onto a DAG Card
New DAG card FPGA images are released regularly by Endace as part of software packages.
They can be downloaded from the Endace website at https://www.endace.com/support
The
-r
option invokes a comparison of images on the computer and in the DAG card. Newer
versions are automatically loaded onto the DAG card and programmed into the FPGA. See
.
Endace recommends you use the
dagrom -r
command when loading images from the
computer to the ROM on the DAG card.
dagrom 18 (page ). This eliminates unnecessary reprogramming of the ROM and extends its
life.
For example, for the DAG 7.5G4 card use:
dagrom -d0 -rvp -f dag75g4pci_dsm.bit
(where "0" is the device number of the DAG card you wish to capture data from).
The filename of the FPGA image may differ from the above depending on the version
required.
