Firmware Update (CLI)

System Firmware Update

Upload Firmware into the system is the following process

1. scp or cul the *.bin firmware file to the system

2. upload the firmware into the system

3. install the firmware on the system

4. reboot the system

Its fairly straight forward to do, in many instances CLI based update is easier than a GUI

1) Copy firmware to the system

This is either scp or curl -O the firmware to the home directory, example below uses curl directly from the webpage

2) Upload the firmware into the system

While the .bin file may be on the system, It needs to be uploaded and processed by the system to make it accessible. Using the following command line on the FW file from 1)

sudo firmware_install.lua --upload <full firware filename>

NOTE: the firmware filename must be exactly as downloaded, e.g. no (1) or other suffix appended.

Below example filename is "fmadio20v3_20210831_1136.bin"

Example upload process

fmadio@fmadio20v3-287:~$ sudo firmware_install.lua --upload fmadio20v3_20210831_1136.bin

3) Firmware Install

Next the firmware needs to be installed using the command

$ sudo firmware_install.lua --install <firmware filename.bin>

Example output is shown below. Note if the capture is running as shown, it will eventually timeout and complete the update.

4) Reboot

System needs to be rebooted, It will power cycle also after the 1st reboot to complete the update process.

Example

$ sudo reboot
