1. Connect the GW16012 JTAG programmer to a PC parallel port using the
standard DB25 cable included with programmer.
2. Connect the 10-pin IDC female from the GW16012 dongle to the
GW2348-4 JTAG connector.
3. Create a bootable DOS floppy with the FLASH.EXE program and the
binary image. The FLASH.EXE program is a DOS program, which must
be run from a DOS prompt, it cannot be run from a Windows DOS box.
The development kit CDROM contains both the FLASH.EXE program and
the default factory programmed image.
4. Insert the DOS bootable floppy, with the FLASH.EXE program and binary
image into the PC’s floppy drive and boot to DOS.
5. Run the FLASH.EXE program with the following syntax
CC:> flash
image.bin
{p} {v} where p=program, v=verify and
image.bin
is
the binary image.
Examples:
C:> flash GW2348-4.bin p
Program the Flash with the GW2348-4.bin image
C:> flash GW2348-4.bin v
Verify that the Flash matches the GW2348-4.bin image
C:> flash GW2348-4.bin pv
Program and verify the Flash with the GW2348-4.bin image
2.8. Getting
Started
The GW2348-4 is factory configured with Redboot v2.01 and a uCLinux port
programmed into Flash memory. The software is configured to use either serial
port for a serial console. To get started, connect a serial cable from to another
computer running a terminal software application such as Windows
HyperTerminal. Configure the terminal program for 115,200 baud, 8 data bits, 1
stop bit, no parity and no flow control. Apply power and watch for Redboot and
Linux output on the serial console.
It is also possible to communicate to the GW2348-4 using a telnet session over
Ethernet. First, connect the J10 Ethernet port on the GW2348-4 to the Ethernet
port on a Host Computer using either a standard or a crossover cable. The
default telnet address for the GW2348-4 is 192.168.3.2. Second, configure the
Host Computer IP address to be on the same subnet (i.e. 192.168.3.99). Third,
switch to Host Computer to a command prompt and type C:>telnet 192.168.3.2.
The GW2348-4 console information will now be routed to the Host Computer
display.
