Updating Firmware
Method 1: XMODEM and serial cable - slow
To update firmware without IE use the console port and XMODEM. It will take a long time to push the firmware image over the serial connection but it works. Under OS X I use the mac ports version of Minicom and sz. Be ready to send the file as soon as you select the "upload softare" option as the console software goes directly into XMODEM receive.
Method 2: TFTP
You can also set up a TFTP server (on any Linux/Unix/OS X) machine and transfer the firmware over the network.
This command makes a backup of the boot firmware:
- copy boot tftp:192.168.2.4/boot.image
- copy image tftp:192.168.2.4/image.image
If you have a new boot or image firmware on your tftp server go like this:
- copy tftp://192.168.2.4/srw2016-boot boot
- copy ftp://192.168.2.4/srw2016-image image
