1. Connect the PC to the KV260 Starter Kit via Ethernet as shown in
2. Set the PC to a static IP address that is on the same subnet as the recovery tool
(192.168.0.XYZ), but not 192.168.0.111.
3. Hold the firmware update button when powering on the device. You should also see the
UART print outs from the recovery application.
4. Use a web-browser (e.g., Chrome or Firefox) on the PC to navigate to the URL
http://
192.168.0.111
for access to the Ethernet recovery tool.
5. Use the Ethernet recovery tool GUI in the web-browser to update either the A or B boot
firmware partitions with a
BOOT.BIN
file from the file system on the PC. The Ethernet
recovery tool interface is shown in the following figure.

Boot Firmware A/B Update
As outlined in the
Chapter 3: Boot Devices and Firmware Overview
section, the Xilinx starter kit
and SOM provide two copies of the boot firmware in the QSPI device. This mechanism has a
robust update infrastructure through a ping-pong methodology, where the last known good boot
image is always kept available in the platform. The Xilinx starter kit Linux provides a utility for
doing these updates entirely on-target. The steps for using the Xilinx SOM A/B update tool are:
1. Place the new
BOOT.BIN
in the Linux file system.
