Firmware Update
The rmware update buon is the physical SW1/FWUEN push buon located on the KV260
Starter Kit carrier card. The buon is used to support two features:
1. To force the plaorm into a recovery mode applicaon during power-on. The recovery
applicaon is described in the Ethernet Recovery Tool secon of this document.
2. Security mechanism to prevent remote update of the boot rmware, without the user being
physically present.
Ethernet Recovery Tool
The Ethernet recovery tool is a small applicaon included in the Xilinx provided KV260 Starter
Kit QSPI image. It provides a simple Ethernet-based interface and applicaon for updang the
boot rmware. This applicaon and interface is iniated by holding the rmware update buon
during the power-on sequence. The applicaon uses a xed IP address of 192.168.0.111. The
following gure shows an overview of the set-up.

The Ethernet recovery tool provides a mechanism for updang either of the dynamic boot
parons within the primary boot device if Linux is not funconal. If Linux is funconal, the
recommendaon is to update the boot rmware using the xmutil boot rmware update
ulies. The associated update content is a Xilinx XCK26 binary boot image captured as
BOOT.BIN. To support plaorm recovery, the KV260 Starter Kit factory BOOT.BIN image is
made available on the Xilinx SOM Geng Started web page. You can also use this tool when
customizing the plaorms boot rmware with your own BOOT.BIN generated through the Xilinx
Vis and PetaLinux tools.
To use the Ethernet recovery tool, follow these steps:
