FPGA_LOAD(8) FPGA_LOAD(8)

NAME

fpga_load - Xorcom Astribank (xpp) firmware tool

SYNOPSIS

fpga_load [ -g] [-r] [-v] -D {/proc/bus/usb|/dev/bus/usb}/ BUS/DEV
 
fpga_load [ -g] [-v] -D {/proc/bus/usb|/dev/bus/usb}/ BUS/DEV -I firmware.hex [ -b dump.bin] [-i]
 
fpga_load -h
 

DESCRIPTION

fpga_load loads the FPGA firmware to the Xorcom Astribank device. The syntax resembles that of fxload(8).
 

OPTIONS

-b dump.bin
Before writing firmware, bump the processed binary file to dump.bin.
 
-D DEVICE
Required. The device to read from/write to. On modern UDEV-based system this is usually /dev/bus/usb/ bus_num/device_num, where bus_num and device_num are the first two numbers in the output of lsusb(8). On older systems that use usbfs, it is usually /proc/bus/usb/ bus_num/device_num.
 
-r
Reset the Astribank and renumerate its USB connection to power on product ID.
 
-g
Dump all eeprom data to standard output.
 
-I fireware_file
The firmware file to write to the device.
 
-i
Show information about the firmware file (valid only with -I option). Example:
./FPGA_1151.hex: Version=3297 Checksum=58270
 
In particular, the calculated checksum should match the output of sum(1) on the binary firmware file generated by the -b option.
 
-v
Increase verbosity. May be used multiple times.
 
-h
Displays usage message.
