firm
The firm program is used to download firmware. The firmware
consists of several types, by number, which must be downloaded in
the proper sequence. firmload automatically takes care of identifying
the proper files and downloading them in the correct sequence.
The sequence is as follows:
Type 2 (PROC_APP) = Control processor firmware
Type 1 (DSP_APP) = DSP firmware
Bfv API debug mode is turned on. The btcall.cfg file is the user
configuration file. The firm program is found in the bapp.src
directory.
Command Syntax
firm [-m <mod>] [-c <conf_spec>] -t <type>
<firmware_file>
If the download type is 2 (PROC_APP), the driver attempts to
reestablish communications with the destination module. If the
module was previously marked as dead, it might become usable
again.
Arguments
-m <mod> Module number to download to (default 2)
-c <conf_spec> Firmware configuration specification number.
This is reported by
modinfo -c. This only
applies to PROC_APP firmware. The current
meaning of the configuration specification
value is the number of channels for which to
configure the firmware.
-t <type> Type of firmware downloaded:
1 = DSP_APP
2 = PROC_APP
<firmware_file> Firmware file to download
