If you are using SSH to perform the EndRun GPS Receiver upgrade, you may open another com-
mand window on the remote computer and securely transfer the GPS Receiver image to /tmp/rcvr.bin
using
scp
from the remote computer. A command like this could be used:
scp –p 6010-0081-000_1.04.bin root@host.your.domain:/tmp/rcvr.bin
Now issue the following command to the Sonoma console to initiate the upload:
upgradercvr
This command performs the file transfer to the EndRun GPS Receiver. You will see a file transfer
progress message while it is performing the transfer. Next, issue the following command to the So-
noma console to reset the GPS Subsystem (and Receiver):
subsysreset
After it completes, wait about 60 seconds and issue this command to check the EndRun GPS Re-
ceiver version:
rcvrversion
You should see a message like this:
F/W 6010-0081-000 Ver 1.04 - FPGA 6020-0014-000 Ver 01 - JAN 28 13:08:52 2013
The firmware version should match that of the binary file that you uploaded.
Problems with the GPS Receiver Upgrade
Should you have difficulties with the upgrade due to a corrupt file, power failure during upload, or
other accident, do not be alarmed. Even though you may have lost the existing application program,
the GPS Receiver bootloader program will remain intact. Correct any problem with the binary file
and retry the upload procedure. If you are still unable to successfully perform the EndRun GPS Re-
ceiver upgrade, you should contact Customer Support at EndRun Technologies.
Performing the GPS Receiver FPGA Upgrade
This section has instructions for upgrading the Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) resident on
the EndRun GPS Receiver. This is rarely, if ever, used so is not an option on the HTTPS interface.
If you want to upgrade the EndRun GPS Receiver, see the section above called Performing the GPS
Receiver Upgrade
.
First you need to download the FPGA image from the EndRun website to a place on your network
which is accessible to the Sonoma. The link to the Sonoma upgrade page is shown above.
