Using console mode and “standard” Ethernet
If the netX is in “default” console mode, the ROM code supports firmware
programming via its built-in 2-port standard Ethernet switch.
Note:
The current version of the Flasher tool does not yet support flashing
via “standard” Ethernet.
Requirements
·
Your netX 90 device is equipped with an Ethernet interface connector
(RJ45 jack)
·
The Ethernet interface is connected to your programming PC/laptop via
Ethernet cable
·
Programming tool on PC/laptop:
–
netX Studio CDT (integrated Flasher tool)
or
–
Command line flasher
Entering console mode
In its initial “blank” state, the netX 90 automatically supports firmware
programming in console mode via Standard Ethernet; i.e. you do not need
make any special configuration settings in order to enable this option.
This is because the netX automatically enters console mode if the ROM
code cannot find a valid firmware after a power cycle (see section
page 42]) and because Standard Ethernet (along with UART) is
the “default” console mode interface (unless you have configured a different
console mode with the SQI_SIO pins, see section
page 45]).
Note:
If the netX 90 is not in its “blank” state because a valid
communication firmware is already residing in the flash, you can
“force” the ROM code into console mode by pulling the RDY pin of
the netX 90 to GND (i.e. if the pin is accessible. Consult the
hardware documentation of your netX 90 device for information on
this).
