Where the first argument ‘LIS-15.00.72.002.image’ in SCP is the source and the second

argument ‘tmp/LIS-15.00.72.002.image’ is the destination path, ”root” is the username

used to connect to x.x.x.x IP address.

After you execute the above command you will be asked to provide a root password.

At this stage the output shows the process of copying the software file into destination

directory.

root@192.168.100.1’s password:

Image verification before flashing

To verify the integrity of the image, firmware version xx.yy.72.002 and later uses an

image-check application.

Note: it is the user’s responsibility to verify the image before starting to write image to

flash process.

To use the image-check on downloaded image, enter:

image-check /tmp/LIS-15.00.72.002.image

In the case of any image corruption, appropriate error message will be displayed:

Error: no SquashFS filesystem after CRC'd section - data length 3

Error: read failed, expected at least 3 more bytes

or other.

Note: Image is valid only if none of error message appears. This process is done

automatically during Web UI firmware update.

Flashing

When downloaded firmware verification succeeds, the new image can be written to flash.

To write the image into the alternative image, enter:

mtd write LIS-15.00.72.002.image altimage

Note: this is an example, substitute the correct file name.

Flash verification after flashing

After the write process has finished, you must complete post verification of the firmware.

To verify the checksum of downloaded firmware, enter:

va_image_csum.sh /tmp/LIS-15.00.72.002.image

The checksum of the downloaded binary is shown:

08761cd03e33c569873bcc24cf2b7389 7006920 LIS-15.00.72.002 This MD5
