NAME
astribank_tool - Xorcom Astribank (xpp) firmware loader
SYNOPSIS
astribank_tool -D device-path -F [options] hexfile
astribank_tool -D device-path -p [options] hexfile1 .. hexfile4
astribank_tool -D device-path -O [-A] [options] imagefile
astribank_tool -D device-path -o [options]
astribank_tool -D device-path -E [options] hexfile
astribank_tool -h
DESCRIPTION
astribank_hexload is a second-stage firmware loader for Xorcom Astribanks. Note that some older models use fpga_load(8) instead.
It is used to load a file in the Intel HEX format into a Xorcom Astribank. It can be used to load either an FPGA firmware or a PIC
firmware. It is normally run by the script xpp_fxloader.
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.
One of the following is required:
-F
The firmware to load is a FPGA firmware.
-p
The firmwares to load is are PIC firmwares. All (typically 4) should be on the command-line.
-O
The firmware to load is an Octasic echo canceller firmware image file.
-o
Don't load firmware. Just print the version number of the currently-loaded Octasic echo canceller firmware.
-E
The firmware to load is a special EEPROM burning one.
Other options:
-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.
-A
When loading a Octasic echo canceller firmware, set the channels of the first Astribank module to use aLaw (G.711a). This is what
you'd normally use for BRI and E1. If not set, the default mu-Law (G.711u), which is what you'd normally use for FXS, FXO and T1.
