B: Upgrading System Firmware
You may be using the wrong firmware files for the product being upgraded. This may be due
to the incorrect files being place in the upgrade directory. It may also be that the wrong
directory was entered (one for another product) in the path information on the F100
command line. ‘Wrong file type’ is also associated with ‘Can’t open file’ errors - see the
preceding message.
Message: Unit hangs on “Burning Boot” message.
Check that your IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway of the XL-GPS are
correctly configured.
FAQ
How does one check the unit’s firmware version number?
Log on to the XL-GPS and enter the following command:
> F100 VER
An example XL-GPS response is:
F100 VER
BOOTLOADER 084-00251-000
SOFTWARE 084-00217-000
FILE SYSTEM 084-00359-000V2-1
NVRAM VER 14
PROJ REV # 2-1
FPGA # 084-00360-000V65
SERIAL # 31234
The “PROJ REV” number is the firmware version number. The “v” number in “FILE SYSTEM”
is the file system version number, which may not be the same as the firmware version
number.
How does one check the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway of the XL-GPS?
Log on to the XL-GPS and enter the following command:
> F100 IC
F100 IP:192.168.52.246 SM:255.255.255.0 G:192.168.52.1
Is the null modem cable necessary? What if I’m upgrading a
XL-GPS remotely?
The null-modem cable is optional. If you decide to Telnet to the XL-GPS over TCP/IP
network, you don’t need the null modem cable.
