page 8].
Standard boot mode
In standard boot mode , the ROM code searches for a valid firmware and
– if available – starts it. If the ROM code cannot find a valid “regular”
firmware, it tries to start a valid “maintenance” firmware instead. If neither
“regular” nor “maintenance” firmware is found, the ROM code automatically
enters console mode.
S400 settings for standard boot mode:
Switch 5 = OFF
Switch 6 = OFF
Console mode
The ROM code of the netX 90 features a console mode that enables the
handling of firmware programming depending on the selected console
mode interface, e.g. via UART, via Ethernet, etc. Thus you can download a
firmware file to the flash memory of the device, e.g. from your development
PC by using the “flasher tool” of
netX Studio CDT .
Note:
Note that downloading a firmware to the netX 90 is also possible via
the JTAG interface. You can use the on-board JTAG-to-USB
connection, as described in the
Getting started: netX Studio CDT –
netX 90 development , DOC170504GSxxEN, (in chapter How to ...
Use the Flasher tool ).
S400 settings for console mode:
Switch 5 = ON
Switch 6 = OFF or ON
