New D21G ethernet bootloader
Apart from our drive to invest in new hardware development we believe that contributing to the Arduino software eco-system is equally important. So when the opportunity arose during the development of the D21G Topboard to add a crucial bit of functionality, we jumped on it: Enter D21G Ethernet/USB hybrid bootloader!
Follow the steps below to prepare your password protected and CRC hashed files, and finally see how to upload the resulting binary to your Industruino D21G:
Detailed procedure also available on our github.
Setup the address settings of the target controller (has to be done only once)
-
Install the Industruino FRAM library using the Arduino IDE library manager.
Run the included NetConfigDataMgr example sketch to write network parameters to FRAM of Ethernet module (modify parameters and uncomment #write option at top of sketch).
Preparation of user sketch:
- Make sure to include ResetServer sketch elements in target sketch (otherwise you can't reset the MCU remotely for future firmware uploads).
- Export binary of sketch
- Process binary with prepareFile utility (./prepareFile password inputFile outputFile)
- Setup TFTP:
tftp TargetIPAddress (ex. 192.168.0.200)
mode binary
trace
verbose
put outputFile.bin
- Reset MCU by loading “http://targetIPaddress:8080/password/reset” ex: "http://192.168.0.200:8080/password/reset” in browser
