4.1.12. fwupdate
Description
Initiate a firmware update.
Usage
fwupdate <filename> where <filename> is the name of the package file
containing the firmware
fwupdate -a to update to the latest official firmware version distributed by
Metrilog. The RTU automatically searches and retrieves the package file over the
Internet.
Remarks
When updating from a local file, it is essential that the package file has a .pack
extension, and is located in the firmware/ directory on the local file system. The
file can be brought on the file system either using the xfer command (x-modem
protocol) or by downloading it from the Internet using the net get command.
Before the update starts, the file is checked for validity and the user is prompted
for a final confirmation. If you are connected over USB, during the update the
virtual serial port will disconnect and you might need to unplug and re-plug the
USB cable.
