Upgrading TCM4 firmware
TCM4 firmware can be updated via USB interface by switching to
bootloader mode
.
As you know, in this mode, TCM4 is mounted as a USB stick.
To remind you, the bootloader mode is entered by doing the command
“gobootload”
in a serial
terminal in application mode. When TCM4 is in bootloader mode, a firmware file
(
TCM4_Firmware_vx.x.x.ctd
) and a status of previous update operation are visible in the device root.
To upgrade a new
TCM4’s
firmware, the following instructions have to be achieved:
•
Navigate to the newly mounted TCM4 (TCM4 BOOT)
•
Delete
TCM4_Firmware_vx.x.x.ctd
file
•
Copy a new firmware file to TCM4 BOOT
•
TCM4 should automatically un-mount and re-mount itself.
The update was successful if the
FwUpdate_Success.stt
status file is present.
All the firmware update status are detailed below:
