NIF2 R11A

[pcasi]

Has anybody tried to update NIU2 firmware to R11A, i was sent 2 files, one labeled "nif2r11a" and one labeled "boot" but no instructions on wich file to upload. Should i upload both of them? If so in wich order? I appreciate your help.

Regards,

Hi'

The procedure to download boot FW from backplane is:

1. First, the NIU2 board must have application FW R11A.
1. Transfer the file to NIU with ftp.
2. Load the application code to NIU with CNBLI.
3. Switch and confirm with CNBSI and CNBCI.

2. Watchdog
1. Check that watchdog is turned off with niux command:
wd
The command is introduce from R11A firmware.
2. If it is not turned off, turn it off with niux command:
wd -m0

4. Download boot FW R2A using the following commands:
1. Transfer the boot file to NIU with ftp.
2. Load the boot code to NIU with CNBLI.
3. Confirm with CNBCI. NB! don't use CNBSI

5. (Optional step)
Turn on watchdog with command:
wd -m1

Printout with watchdog on:

Config data settings
Operation mode 1: On, system reset
