firmload
The firmload program is used to download a complete set of
standard firmware files to all hardware modules on all boards in a
system. The standard firmware files are listed in Chapter 9 in the
installation and configuration guide that came with your software
and in the Release Notes. Downloads, by default, are attempted for
all hardware modules in the range 2 through 0xFD.
The firmware consists of several types, by number, that 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 firmload program is found in
the bapp.src directory.
This program was previously a script/batch file. The old version of
firmload is supplied as firmload_old in the bapp.src directory.
Command Syntax
firmload [-c <conf_spec>] [-d] [-b 0|1][-q] [-e] <firmware_dir> [<module_num>
...]
Arguments
-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 to configure the firmware.
-d Do not download the DSP firmware.
-q Quiet mode (disable Bfv API debug mode).
-e Stop on the first error. Normally download
continues through the entire available module
sequence.
