FPGA_LOAD(8)
NAME
fpga_load - Xorcom Astribank (xpp) firmware tool
SYNOPSIS
fpga_load [-g] [-r] [-v] -D {/proc/bus/usb|/dev/bus/usb}/BUS/DEV
fpga_load [-g] [-v] -D {/proc/bus/usb|/dev/bus/usb}/BUS/DEV -I
firmware.hex [-b dump.bin] [-i]
fpga_load -h
DESCRIPTION
fpga_load loads the FPGA firmware to the Xorcom Astribank device. The
syntax resembles that of fxload(8).
OPTIONS
- -b dump.bin
- Before writing firmware, bump the processed binary file to dump.bin.
- -D DEVICE
- Required. The device to read from/write to. On modern UDEV-based system this is usually /dev/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num, where bus_num and device_num are the first two numbers in the output of lsusb(8). On older systems that use usbfs, it is usually /proc/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num.
- -r
- Reset the Astribank and renumerate its USB connection to power on product ID.
- -g
- Dump all eeprom data to standard output.
- -I fireware_file
- The firmware file to write to the device.
- -i
- Show information about the firmware file (valid only with -I
option). Example:
./FPGA_1151.hex: Version=3297 Checksum=58270 - In particular, the calculated checksum should match the output of sum(1) on the binary firmware file generated by the -b option.
- -v
- Increase verbosity. May be used multiple times.
- -h
- Displays usage message.
