3.4 Upgrading the Micro BTS Software
Version (Flash)
Use this procedure if the procedures in Section 3.3.1 indicate that you need to
update your software version.
The Micro BTS stores its release software in Flash RAM. This section explains how
to upgrade the Micro BTS Flash boot image locally using the Craft PC.
1 Power up the Craft PC and start the XWindows environment. For Craft PC
power-up procedures, refer to Section 3.2.2. For XWindows start-up
procedures, refer to Section 3.2.1.
2 Verify that a telnet session can be established with the Micro BTS. In an Xterm
window, type:
build@craftpc:~> telnet iwbox [ENTER]
3 If the Ethernet connection is setup correctly, then the Craft PC returns the
vxWorks bts-> prompt. If this is not the case, refer to Section 3.2.7 for setup
procedures.
4 Once the Ethernet connection has been tested, terminate the telnet session by
typing:
bts-> logout [ENTER]
The Craft PC returns the build@craftpc:~> prompt.
5 Establish a serial session with the Micro BTS. Refer to Section 3.2.3.
6 Change the working directory to the directory containing the new software
version you wish to upgrade to the Micro BTS, type:
cd “/home/build/iw07_00.ZZZ/iwlib/platform/bspppc” [ENTER]
The iw07_00.ZZZ parameter represents the new software version you wish to
load on the Micro BTS.
In order to update the BTS Flash boot image locally using the
Craft PC, the Craft PC hard drive must contain the software
version (Flash boot image) to be installed.
If the required release is not installed on your Craft PC, use the
procedures in the GSM Craft PC Guide
to install it.
