ASTRIBANK_ALLOW(8)														ASTRIBANK_ALLOW(8)

NAME

       astribank_allow - License Xorcom Astribank (xpp) capabilities.

SYNOPSIS

       astribank_allow -D device-path [ options ]

       astribank_allow [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       Modern Astribanks (with USB product id's 116x) contain capabilities that may be licensed.

       astribank_allow is used to upload/download the licensing information to/from the device.

       Uploading  a  valid license file to an Astribank, changes its capabilities.  The change becomes effective after a firmware reset (either by
       powering the device off and on again, or via the astribank_tool full reset option).

       Downloading license from the device, produces a valid license file for its current capabilities. This may be backed up, so the  device  may
       be later restored to its previous capabilities.

       The  license file contains both a human readable description of the device capabilities for the end user and a hash of the licensing infor-
       mation used by Xorcom to generate/modify licensed capabilities.

OPTIONS

       -D device-path
	      Required. The device to read from/write to. This is bus_num/device_num, where bus_num and device_num are the first  two  numbers	in
	      the output of lsusb(8) or dahdi_hardware(8).  On older versions of this toolyou needed a complete path to the device, which would be
	      /dev/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num, or /proc/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num.

       -w
	      Write capabilities to EEPROM, otherwise read capabilities

       -f filename
	      License filename (stdin/stdout if not specified)

       -v
	      Increase verbosity. May be used multiple times.

       -d mask
	      Set debug mask to mask. Default is 0, 0xFF is "everything".

       -h
	      Displays usage message.

NAME

       fpga_load - Xorcom Astribank (xpp) firmware tool

SYNOPSIS

       fpga_load [-g] [-r] [-v] -D {/proc/bus/usb|/dev/bus/usb}/BUS/DEV

       fpga_load [-g] [-v] -D {/proc/bus/usb|/dev/bus/usb}/BUS/DEV -I firmware.hex [-b dump.bin] [-i]

       fpga_load -h

DESCRIPTION

       fpga_load loads the FPGA firmware to the Xorcom Astribank device.  The syntax resembles that of fxload(8).

OPTIONS

       -b dump.bin
	      Before writing firmware, bump the processed binary file to dump.bin.

       -D DEVICE
	      Required.  The  device  to  read	from/write  to. On modern UDEV-based system this is usually /dev/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num, where
	      bus_num and device_num are the first two numbers in the output of lsusb(8).   On	older  systems	that  use  usbfs,  it  is  usually
	      /proc/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num.

       -r
	      Reset the Astribank and renumerate its USB connection to power on product ID.

       -g
	      Dump all eeprom data to standard output.

       -I fireware_file
	      The firmware file to write to the device.

       -i
	      Show information about the firmware file (valid only with -I option).  Example:

		   ./FPGA_1151.hex: Version=3297 Checksum=58270

	      In particular, the calculated checksum should match the output of sum(1) on the binary firmware file generated by the -b option.

       -v
	      Increase verbosity. May be used multiple times.

       -h
	      Displays usage message.
