2.12.2 PHY Image Conversion Utility
It may be necessary to create the file
tftpupdt.nof
using the conversion utility
discussed below. When updating the PHY flash image, 3 files are used from the
PHY vendor. These 3 files are converted into 1 file to decrease the number of
files needed and the total file size required during the TFTP process.
If a single converted file is supplied, do not proceed with this step.
2.12.2.1 Files involved
The following files will be supplied by the PHY vendor:
File
Default Name
Description
Read File
readfls.idm
This is the executable
code the PHY runs to
read the data from the
flash part.
Program File
progfls.idm
This is the executable
code the PHY will run to
program data into the
flash part.
PHY Flash Image
rt.bnm
This is an S-record file
that contains the data to
be programmed into the
PHY flash part.
The default files names shown are what the conversion utility normally expects.
These can be changed using a command line argument.
The output file
tftpupdt.nof
will be created. This is the file to be used in the TFTP
update process.
2.12.2.2 Command line arguments
The PHY image conversion utility can be run as shown in the following table:
phycon –d
Runs the utility with the default file
names to be converted.
phycon –h
Displays the help/usage information.
phycon –f <PHY read file> <PHY prog
Causes the utility to use the supplied
file names instead of the default file
