astribank_tool -D device-path <-F|-p> [options] hexfile astribank_tool [-h]
DESCRIPTION
astribank_hexload is a second-stage firmware loader for Xorcom Astribanks. Note that some older models use fpga_load(8) instead.
It is used to load a file in the Intel HEX format into a Xorcom Astribank. It can be used to load either an FPGA firmware or a PIC firmware.
It is normally run by the script xpp_fxloader.
OPTIONS
- -D device-path

- -p
