Downloading executable binary image to NRP 51-RE or NRP 52-
RE via USB
4.2.2.1
Overview
This section describes how to download an executable binary image from
your configuration PC to the flash memory of the NRP 51-RE or the NRP
52-RE via USB.
For this, you need the Hilscher
netX
Bootwizard
application as download
tool installed on your configuration PC and a USB cable with a Mini-B
connector.
The executable binary image file in this case is the Second Stage
Bootloader (SSBL) stored in the
Firmware\2nd Stage
Bootloader\NRP 52
folder of the NRPEB product DVD.
For more detailed information about the Bootwizard, please refer to the
Operating Instruction Manual
netX Bootwizard
, DOC070502OIxxEN,
which is stored in the
Documentation\4. Tool Manuals\
2. Bootwizard
directory of the product DVD.
The instructions in this section apply to the following devices:
•
NRP 51-RE (USB interface needs to be implemented on host device)
•
NRP 52-RE (USB interface needs to be implemented on host device)
•
NRPEB 51-RE
•
NRPEB 52-RE
Note:
The netRAPIDs for Real-Time Ethernet (NRP 51-RE and NRP 52-
RE) are not equipped with a security memory. Therefore, device-specific
identification data of the netRAPID, which usually would be stored in the
security memory, is stored in the flash memory of the device instead,
along with the firmware.
The area in the flash memory storing this device-specific data is protected
by a so-called
Flash Device Label
. The latest version of the Bootwizard is
capable of recognizing the Flash Device Label and of downloading files to
the flash memory without overwriting the device-specific data marked with
this label. You must therefore use netX Bootwizard version
≥
1.3.15xxx.x,
which is provided on the NRPEB product DVD, and uninstall any older
version of the Bootwizard that might have existed on your configuration
PC.
