Managing the xDSL Router

5.2 Upgrading on-board flash memory from

Ethernet network

You can update the on-board flash memory after you booting the new
firmware from the Ethernet network by issue the following commands.

home

↵

> flashfs rewrite boot.bin

↵

(

this command is available for update boot code only)

> flashfs update

↵

> flashfs ls

↵

You should see some messages about the file name and file sizes that
stored in the Router. If you get “

no flash content

” something went

wrong.
