Updating Firmware
To run prgflash.xxx on Unix workstations
To run prgflash.xxx on Unix workstations
Use the command:
prgflash.xxx [-v] [probe IP addr] [product to update]
where xxx is hp7, sun or sol as described above.
The -v option means "verbose". It causes progress status messages to be
displayed during operation.
The probe IP addr option is the ip address of the HP processor probe in
either dotted decimal form or alias form (from /etc/hosts).
The product to update option names the products whose firmware is to be
updated. For the PowerPC 603, the product name is "e3494" and for the
PowerPC 603e, the product name is "e3477". Firmware for other members of
the PowerPC family may also be provided on the floppy, check the "readme"
file on the disk for more details.
If you enter the prgflash.xxx command without all options, it becomes
interactive. You must always supply the "probe IP addr" option. If you don't
include the "product to update" option, it displays the products which have
firmware update files on the system and asks you to choose one. It will first
look in the current directory for product files, if it does not find any there, it
will check the directory $HP64000/inst/update if the $HP64000 environment
variable is set or /usr/hp64000/inst/update if $HP64000 is not set. You can
abort the interactive prgflash.xxx command by pressing <CTRL>c.
Example
To use update the firmware for the PowerPC 603 in "myprobe" from a series
700 HP-UX machine, you could enter the following command:
prgflash.hp7 -v myprobe E3494
To run prgflash.exe on MS-DOS
Use the command:
prgflash [-v] [emul_com] [product to update]
The -v and [product to update] options are the same as described above.
The [emul_com] option should be emul_com1, emul_com2, emul_com3, or
emul_com4 which correspond to the com1, com2, com3 and com4 ports. The
serial parameters for these ports is configured in the file 64700tab. The only
configuration option that should be changed is the baud rate which should
