Firmware Upgrade over FTP
WiFly module has a file system for storing firmware, web pages and config files. Use the
ls
command
to view files. File size is displayed in sectors and the active boot image is identified in the final
message.
FL# SIZ

config
190 Free, Boot=11, Backup=0
Multiple firmware images and config files can be stored on the module file system.
FTP Upload and Upgrade
WiFly contains a built in FTP client for getting files and updating the firmware. The client uses
passive mode FTP, which allows operation thru firewalls and the Internet.
To upload the latest released firmware from Roving Networks the following setting are required:
FTP username =
roving
FTP password =
Pass123
FTP filename =
wifly-GSX.img
FTP directory =
./public
(this parameter can not be modified)
To use FTP to upgrade the firmware, enter the following command:
ftp upload <string>
(string is an optional filename, use to bypass the default firmware filename)
The ftp upload command will retrieve the file and switch the boot image to the new file.
<2.10>
ftp update
<2.10> FTP connecting to 208.109.78.34
FTP file=30
.......................................................................
FTP OK.
The previous firmware will become the backup image. Here is an example of what you should see
after a successful update:

firmware use the following command:
