firm

The firm program is used to download firmware. The firmware

consists of several types, by number, which must be downloaded in

the proper sequence. firmload automatically takes care of identifying

the proper files and downloading them in the correct sequence.

The sequence is as follows:

Type 2 (PROC_APP) = Control processor firmware

Type 1 (DSP_APP) = DSP firmware

Bfv API debug mode is turned on. The btcall.cfg file is the user

configuration file. The firm program is found in the bapp.src

directory.

Command Syntax

firm [-m ] [-c ] -t

If the download type is 2 (PROC_APP), the driver attempts to

reestablish communications with the destination module. If the

module was previously marked as dead, it might become usable

again.

Arguments

-m

configure the firmware.
