Updating Images and Applications
This chapter provides an overview of the software (images and applications) on the IO-Link Master.
In addition it contains procedures to update images and application subassemblies.
5.1
Images and Application Subassemblies Overview
The IO-Link Master is loaded with the latest images at the factory but you may need to update images or
application subassemblies to have access to the latest features.
You can view all image and application versions in the IO-Link Master ADVANCED | Software page.

IO-Link master software update
U-Boot is a high-level Bootloader that has networking and console command line
capabilities. Among other things, it implements a TFTP server and Leuze electronic
Corporation's new discovery protocol.
This verifies that a Linux kernel image exists in NAND, then copies it to RAM and
starts the IO-Link Master. The U-Boot version is displayed after the image name.
The FPGA partition/image contains configuration data used by programmable
hardware within the IO-Link Master unit. FPGA images are unique to the hardware
and protocol type. Make sure you download the correct image for your platform.
