66 UltraWAVE BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Release 6.5A
3-5 Upgrading the 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 BTS stores its release software in Flash RAM. This section explains how to upgrade the 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 3-2.2.
2 Verify that a telnet session can be established with the 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 3-3.4 for setup procedures.
4 Once the Ethernet connection has been tested, terminate the telnet session by typing:
bts-> logout [ENTER]
5 The Craft PC returns the build@craftpc:~> prompt. Establish a serial session with the
BTS. In an Xterm window, type:
build@craftpc:~> cu -l ttyS0 [ENTER]
Identify Your Processor Card
6 Change the working directory to the directory containing the new software version you wish
to upgrade to the BTS:
cd "/home/build/iwXX_YY.ZZZ/iwlib/platform/bspppc" [ENTER]
The iwXX_YY.ZZZ parameter represents the new software version you wish to load
on the BTS.
7 To find out which Flash image in which the current software version resides, type:
bts-> getCurrentImage [ENTER]
value = 0 = 0x0
Make a note of the returned value, which might be either 0 or 1. This is the active image in
which the current Flash resides. The binary opposite of this value will be used to load the
new Flash in the following steps.
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 interWAVE Craft PC Guide
to install it.
