Command line utility tool
The fusionTrack
SDK
is shipped with a tool allowing to perform updates of the fusionTrack device and
wireless markers firmware. This tool is a command-line software, called
atnet
, available both on Windows
and Linux. The
atnet
allows to communicate with the fusionTrack device
factory firmware
.
10.1
Establishing a connection with
atnet
In order to connect the
atnet
software with the fusionTrack device, it is assumed the fusionTrack is corectly
setup as described in Chapter 5 and the software on the host PC is correctly installed as indicated in
Chapter 6. The procedure is the following:
1. Launch the
atnet
(usually located in the
INSTALL_PATH/bin
folder on Linux and in
C:\Program
Files\Atracsys\fusionTrack SDK x64\bin
on Windows) with the
0
argument;
1
$INSTALL_PATH /bin % ./ atnet64 .exe 0
2. (Re)boot the fusionTrack;
3. Wait for the connection between
atnet
and the fusionTrack to be correctly established. It is estab-
lished when the serial number is printed in the console and when the device status LED is blinking in
blue.
If the fusionTrack beeps twice in a row and the status LED is solid green, then the procedure must be
started again from step 2.
10.2
Updating the firmware of the fusionTrack
The update of the fusionTrack firmware is done through the command line software
atnet
. The connection
between the fusionTrack and
atnet
is assumed to be established as presented in Section 10.1. The update
procedure is the following:
1. Use the command ‘
update_application
’ to upload the application firmware in the fusionTrack (see
Figure 10.1). For example:
1
update_application * "C:\ Users \john.doe\ Download \ App_fTk_1 .1.6.65. flash"
Listing 10.1: Uploading the new application firmware to the fusionTrack.
2. Wait for
--> OK
to be displayed (See Figure 10.1);
3. Boot the device in application firmware by switching off and after 5 s on again
or
by running the
‘
reset * 1
’ command;
If the update is interrupted, reboot the device, wait for 30 s and restart the procedure.
