5.5 Upgrading FPGA Firmware
If a UTCA-5503 board needs a FPGA firmware upgrade, for example, there is a new
firmware release called “fpgaupgrade.img”, the following steps can be taken to pro-
gram the FPGA.
1. Follow Section 4 for system and debug preparations.
2. Power up the UTCA-5503 board.
3. Wait until the FW has fully booted up
4. Close terminal window.
5. Open a DOS window and change to the file directory that contains “upgradef-
pga.exe” (available for download under the “Firmware” tab on the “Downloads”
section of UTCA-5503 product page on Advantech’s website) and the new firm-
ware “fpgaupgrade.img”. Note: upgradefpga is also available in a Linux version
6. Enter the following command at the prompt.
upgradefpga -s com2:115200 fpgaupgrade.img
Note! HPM.1 support and other update channels (LAN, I2C) will be available in
future firmware releases.
com2 is a place holder and needs to be replaced with the actual COM
port of the CP2102 is using
The command line for Linux is “./upgradefw -s /dev/ttyUSB:115200
upgrade.img” with the USB0 once again being the actual CP2102 device.
