Using PEEDI
Entering the RedBoot command line prompt can be done using two different ways: via RS232 port
using serial straight-through cable and a simple terminal application set to 115200, 8, N, 1 or if the
network is configured you can connect using telnet application. Once in the RedBoot’s command
line prompt (verify by pressing ENTER, RedBoot’s prompt should appear - ’RedBoot> ’), you can
update the firmware the following ways:
3.3.1 Update via RS232
Firmware update via RS232 is supported by Redboot v15.12.3 or newer.
If you want to update PEEDI via RS232 your terminal application must support XMODEM or
YMODEM protocols. Now execute:
RedBoot> update xmodem
or
RedBoot> update ymodem
to tell RedBoot to start listening on RS232 port for incoming packets. Next tell your terminal
application to start downloading the PEEDI firmware.
3.3.2 Update via Ethernet
Now you may use
update
command to update the PEEDI firmware. You can update using TFTP,
HTTP. The syntax of the
update
command is:
update [FILEPATH | NUMBER]
The command shown below will attempt to download the firmware using the default filepath
entered while configuring RedBoot using the fconfig command or the path used when last update
command is invoked:
update
If not changed, the default update path points to the last version of the firmware directly on the
RONETIX website. If
update 1
is entered also the last version of the firmware directly from the
RONETIX web site will be downloaded.
