CMG-EAM (Platinum Firmware)

Connect the firmware pod

If you are upgrading a CMG-EAM, CMG-DAS or CMG-DCM, the

supplied cable (CAS-DCM-0038) should be attached to the 6-pin mil-
spec USB connector of the module. The firmware pod is then

connected to the end of this cable.

A CMG-NAM unit has standard USB sockets and these can be used to
directly connect the firmware pod. Please note that, depending on

internal cable layout, it may be necessary to connect the firmware pod
to a USB socket on the back of the device (near the network socket)

rather than to one on its front panel.

Once connected, it will take a few seconds for the device to be scanned
and registered by the operating system. You can confirm this by

looking for USB mass storage registration entries in the system
logfile, /var/log/messages.

Mount the filesystem

Once the firmware pod is conected and registered, the filesystem

should be mounted by entering the following command:

mount -t ext2 -o ro /dev/disk/by-label/Pt-firmware /mnt

Run upgrade script

Once the filesystem is mounted, you can run the upgrade script. This
is not the same script that is used for network upgrades but it takes the

same optional arguments. These arguments are documented in section
4.3 on page 49, which should be read before proceeding.

Once you have decided which argument, if any, you wish to use, run

the script with the command:

/mnt/upgrade optional_argument

Ensure there are no error messages and then reboot the device. Once
the unit has rebooted, the upgrade process is then complete.

Issue C

Note: Some early Platinum releases only had ext3 filesystem
support. If this is the case, the above command will result in an

"Invalid argument" error message. If this occurs, simply change
ext2 in the above command to ext3.
