firmload

The firmload program is used to download a complete set of

standard firmware files to all hardware modules on all boards in a

system. The standard firmware files are listed in Chapter 9 in the

installation and configuration guide that came with your software

and in the Release Notes. Downloads, by default, are attempted for

all hardware modules in the range 2 through 0xFD.

The firmware consists of several types, by number, that 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 firmload program is found in

the bapp.src directory.

This program was previously a script/batch file. The old version of

firmload is supplied as firmload_old in the bapp.src directory.
