Manually Downloading The Firmware - Dialogic Brooktrout Digital Board Installation And Configuration Manual

Manually Downloading the Firmware

March 2013
You must download the firmware each time you boot the machine or
restart the device driver.
To download the firmware to a module, you must run the firmload or
firm program, both of which are located in the
brooktrout/boston/bfv .api/<platform>/bapp.src directory.
The firmload program loads the control processor and DSP firmware
on all Dialogic® Brooktrout® modules found in the system.
The -c option for the firm and firmload commands or the
config_spec_value field of BfvFirmwareDownload sets the actual
number of channels supported on the module.
First, start the driver if it is not already started, and if your
operating system platform requires it.
Then, change to the <install_root>/bfv.api/<platform>/bapp.src
directory and run the firmload or firm program.
To run the firmload program:
firmload -c num_channels brooktrout/boston/fw
Where num_channels is the number of channels configured to
receive a firmware download.
For example:
firmload -c 48 brooktrout/boston/fw
The firmware consists of two types, by number, which must be
downloaded in the proper sequence. The firmload program
automatically takes care of identifying the proper files and
downloading them in the correct sequence. If you wish to download
the firmware using the firm program, you must download each
module separately and specify the number of channels ( -c ) in the
first firm command:
firm -m <module> -c <num_channels> -t <firmtype>
<firmname>
