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.

firmload [-c <conf_spec>] [-d] [-b 0|1][-q] [-e] <firmware_dir> [<module_num> 
...]

-c <conf_spec>

Firmware configuration specification number. This 

is reported by modinfo -c. This only applies to 

PROC_APP firmware. The current meaning of the 

configuration specification value is the number of 

channels to configure the firmware.

-d

Do not download the DSP firmware.

-q

Quiet mode (disable Bfv API debug mode).

-e

Stop on the first error. Normally download 

continues through the entire available module 

sequence.

<firmware_dir>

Directory containing firmware files.

<module_num>

Optional module numbers that have firmware 

downloaded.
