B: Updating the Firmware on a mangOH
Firmware images for your mangOH Red can be in two formats—.spk and .exe.
The latest images (in both formats) for various module types are available at:
mangoh.io/mangoh-red-resources-software
You can also build your own .spk file as described in
There are a few ways to update the firmware on a mangOH board's CF3 module:
•
Platform independent (uses .spk)
•
From Linux (uses .spk)
•
From VM (uses .spk)
•
From Windows (uses .exe)
The firmware on a mangOH board is updated over the mangOH's CF3 USB port.
Platform-independent
This approach has the advantage of working using a Linux or Windows PC to perform the update. The
disadvantage of this method is that it requires the user to login to the device via ssh or console and this is a bit
inconvenient and may not even be possible if a bad firmware was installed previously.
To install an image to the mangOH Red's module:
1. Use a micro-USB cable to connect the mangOH's USB (not console) port to a powered USB port on your
computer.
2. Locate the firmware .spk file that is to be installed and copy it to the mangOH (replace <spk_file_path> with
the pathname for the .spk file to install):
$ scp <spk_file_path> root@192.168.2.2:/tmp
$ scp build/red_wp76xx.spk root@192.168.2.2:/tmp
red_wp76xx.spk
$
3. Log in to the mangOH:
$ ssh root@192.168.2.2
