Flashing Guide

Note

  • Attached are the Bdi configuration files and Hotspot firmware for our M3 platforms. 
  • Please follow the Bdi3000 user manual to set up the Bdi3000 IP, TFTP server (either Windows or Linux), and download/upload folder.
  • Follow the user manual to configure your BDI3000 programmer.

Method

  1. Create a "bdi" folder/directory in the TFTP folder and save attached files under the "bdi" folder. 
  1. Open ceedtec_ppc26.cfg with a text editor.
  1. Go to line 70 and modify the [HOST] IP to your TFTP server IP:

[HOST]

 IP          192.168.0.200 
 FILE        /umbra/ppcboot 
 FORMAT      BIN 
 LOAD        MANUAL      ;load code MANUAL or AUTO after reset 
 DEBUGPORT   2001 
  1. Save it and restart/re-power your BDI.
  1. Connect Bdi to M3 J4 connector.
  1. To verify, Telnet to the BDI and try to perform some simple memory/flash reads at addresses 0xFFF00000, 0xFF810000, 0xFF940000, etc.

The range of the flash is 0xFF800000 ~ 0xFFFFFFFF (8MB).  The memory is from 0x0 to 0x02000000 (32MB).

  1. Create a new folder in TFTP root and save the attached "ppcboot", "ramdisk", and "zImage".

ppcboot -> Bootloader @ flash address 0xFFF0 0000 zImage -> Kernel Image @ flash address 0xFF81 0000 ramdisk -> Root filesystem @ flash address 0xFF94 0000

  1. Program and flash the images.  Please use the attached [/Bdi-flash-program-M3-readme.txt] as a reference to program/flash the images.
  1. Once you're done flashing, remove BDI cable and power cycle the PCBA.  You can connect to the unit via either an RJ45 cross over cable or wireless (default SSID is "Hotspot"). 
  1. By default, the firmware was designed to use 3G/HSDPA as WAN.  But it can easily be configured to use DHCP (either Dynamic or Static IP) through the built-in Web Management GUI.  The username and password are admin/admin.
