Firmware Upgrade ================= Eiger ------------- Download ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - `bcp script `__ - detector server corresponding to package in slsDetectorPackage/serverBin - `bit files `__ Upgrade ^^^^^^^^ #. Tftp must be already installed on your pc to use the bcp script. #. Kill the on-board servers and copy new servers to the board. .. code-block:: bash # Option 1: from detector console # kill old server ssh root@bebxxx killall eigerDetectorServer # copy new server cd executables scp user@pc:/path/eigerDetectorServerxxx . chmod 777 eigerDetectorServerxxx ln -sf eigerDetectorServerxxx eigerDetectorServer sync # Options 2: from client console for multiple modules for i in bebxxx bebyyy; do ssh root@$i killall eigerDetectorServer; scp eigerDetectorServerxxx root@$i:~/executables/eigerDetectorServer; ssh root@$i sync; done * This is crucial when registers between firmwares change. Failure to do so will result in linux on boards to crash and boards can't be pinged anymore. #. Bring the board into programmable mode using either of the 2 ways. Both methods result in only the central LED blinking. * **Manual:** Do a hard reset for each half module on back panel boards, between the LEDs, closer to each of the 1G ethernet connectors. Push until all LEDs start to blink. * Software: .. code-block:: bash ssh root@bebxxx cd executables ./boot_recovery #. Start a terminal for each half module and run the following to see progress. .. code-block:: bash nc -p 3000 -u bebxxx 3000 # Press enter twice to see prompt with board name. > bebxxx # After each bcp command, wait for this terminal to print "Success". #. In another terminal, run the following to update firmware. Please update bit files with great caution as it could make your board inaccessible, if done incorrectly. .. code-block:: bash #update back end fpga bcp download.bit bebxxx:/fw0 #update front left fpga bcp download.bit bebxxx:/febl #update front right fpga bcp download.bit bebxxx:/febr #update kernel (only if required by the SLS Detector Group) bcp download.bit bebxxx:/kernel #. Reboot the detector.

Download `Altera Quartus software or Quartus programmer `__. #. Start Quartus programmer, click on Hardware Setup. In the "Currently selected hardware" window, select USB-Blaster. #. In the Mode combo box, select "Active Serial Programming". #. Plug the end of your USB-Blaster with the adaptor provided to the connector 'AS config' on the Gotthard board. #. Click on 'Add file'. Select programming (pof) file provided by the SLS Detector group. #. Check "Program/Configure" and "Verify". Push the start button. Wait until the programming process is finished. #. In case of error messages, check the polarity of cable (that pin1 corresponds) and that the correct programming connector is selected. #. Reboot the detector.

If a reboot occured with an incomplete firmware in flash, the blackfin will most likely not find the mtd3 drive. To see if this drive exists: .. code-block:: bash # connect to the board telnet bchipxxx # view of mtd3 existing root:/> more /proc/mtd dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "bootloader(nor)" mtd1: 00100000 00020000 "linux kernel(nor)" mtd2: 002c0000 00020000 "file system(nor)" mtd3: 01000000 00010000 "bitfile(spi)" 4. If one can see the mtd3 drive, one can already try to flash again using the **programfpga** command (without rebooting blackfin or detector). 5. If one can't list it, read the next section to try to get the blackfin to list it. How to get back mtd3 drive remotely (copying new kernel) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash # step 1: get the kernel image (uImage.lzma) from slsdetectorgroup # and copy it to pc's tftp folder # step 2: connect to the board telnet bchipxxx #step 3: go to directory for space cd /var/tmp/ # step 3: copy kernel to board tftp pcxxx -r uImage.lzma -g # step 4: verify kernel copied properly ls -lrt # step 5: erase flash flash_eraseall /dev/mtd1 # step 6: copy new image to kernel drive cat uImage.lzma > /dev/mtd1 # step 7: sync # step 8: reboot # step 9: verification telnet bchipxxx uname -a # verify kernel date more /proc/mtd # verify mtd3 is listed Last Resort using USB Blaster ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If none of these steps work, the last resort might be physically upgrading the firmware using a USB blaster, which also requires opening up the detector. Instructions for all the blackfin detectors are the same as the one for :ref:`gotthard firmware upgrade `.
