ASTRIBANK_HEXLOAD(8)

NAME
astribank_hexload - Xorcom Astribank (xpp) firmware loader

SYNOPSIS
astribank_hexload -D device-path -F [options] hexfile astribank_hexload -D device-path -p [options] hexfile1 .. hexfile4 astribank_hexload -D device-path -O [-A] [options] imagefile astribank_hexload -D device-path -o [options] astribank_hexload -D device-path -E [options] hexfile astribank_hexload -h

DESCRIPTION
astribank_hexload is a second-stage firmware loader for Xorcom Astribanks. Note that some very old models use fpga_load(8) instead. This legacy tool hasn't been used for several releases. It can be found in version 2.6 and below of dahdi-tools. The astribank_hexload(8) program is used to load a file in the Intel HEX format into a Xorcom Astribank. It can be used to load either an FPGA firmware or a PIC firmware. It is normally run by the script xpp_fxloader.

OPTIONS
-D device-path
    Required. The device to read from/write to. This is bus_num/device_num, where bus_num and device_num are the first two numbers in the output of lsusb(8) or dahdi_hardware(8). On older versions of this tool you needed a complete path to the device, which would be /dev/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num, or /proc/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num.
One of the following is required: -F
    The firmware to load is a FPGA firmware.
-p
    The firmwares to load is are PIC firmwares. All (typically 4) should be on the command-line.
-O
    The firmware to load is an Octasic echo canceller firmware image file.
-o
    Don't load firmware. Just print the version number of the currently-loaded Octasic echo canceller firmware.
-E
    The firmware to load is a special EEPROM burning one.
Other options: -v
    Increase verbosity. May be used multiple times.
-d mask
    Set debug mask to mask. Default is 0, 0xFF is "everything".
-h
    Displays usage message.
-A
    When loading a Octasic echo canceller firmware, set the channels of the first Astribank module to use aLaw (G.711a). This is what you'd normally use for BRI and E1. If not set, the default mu-Law (G.711u), which is what you'd normally use for FXS, FXO and T1.
