Configuration Overview
When first initialized, the board infrastructure is initialized into a default condition and the
DSPs are held in reset waiting for the rest of the system to start up.
When the DSPs are taken out of reset, DSPs send out DHCP DISCOVER messages to get a
firmware image. Once the DSP retrieves its networking information from the DHCP-server, a
firmware image is loaded to the DSP. The DSP automatically loads a firmware image via TFTP
GET, in case a boot file provided in the DHCP response from the server. Otherwise, a firmware
image should be uploaded using TFTP PUT to the DSP.
The standard configuration assumes that DHCP and TFTP servers are already installed and
configured on the system. The octSetup tool from the support software serves for setting up a
standard configuration on both DHCP and TFTP servers locally on the system.
When the DSP has loaded the right firmware image and is running, it is ready to handle media
streams according to application control.
