10 4 Installation You may be required to upgrade BSP to support the new features and fix issues. 4.1 Upgrade Procedure To upgrade BSP: 1. Go to 2. Navigate to the Customer Resource Center. First time visitors will need to register for a CRC account. 3. Download the latest BSP package COMX_P4080_<Version_Number>.tar.gz. The version number is formatted as VxxxBxx or VxxxRxx (for example: V100B13, V100R00). 4. Attach the board to your network using a network cable to the onboard RGMII Ethernet port. 5. Setup a TFTP server in this network. Assuming that the IP address of this server is and the root directory is /tftpboot/. Create a subdirectory comx_p4080/ in /tftpboot/. 6. Copy the released file COMX_P4080_<Version_Number>.tar.gz into the directory /tftpboot/comx_p4080/ on this server. 7. Change current directory to /tftpboot/comx_p4080/. 8. Decompress the.tar.gz file to the current directory. The following files should be present: comx.dtb rcw.bin rootfs_ext2.img rootfs_nfs.tar.gz uimage fsl_fman_ucode_p4080_101_6.bin ReleaseNotes.txt rootfs_jffs2.nand Page 10 of 13 FEB/18/ COMX-P4080

11 u-boot.bin 9. All the commands in the following steps should be run in U-Boot command line. 10. Setup the U-Boot environment variables for the network settings. Example: => setenv ethaddr 00:01:af:12:23:01 => setenv ipaddr => setenv netmask => setenv gatewayip => setenv serverip => setenv ethact 11. Setup the U-Boot environment variables for upgrade files. Example: => setenv rcwfile comx_p4080/comx_p4080_<version_number>/rcw.bin => setenv fmanfilec omx_p4080/comx_p4080_<version_number>/fsl_fman_ucode_p4080_101_6.bin => setenv bootfile comx_p4080/comx_p4080_<version_number>/uimage => setenv norfsfile comx_p4080/comx_p4080_<version_number>/rootfs_ext2.img => setenv fdtfile comx_p4080/comx_p4080_<version_number>/comx.dtb => setenv ubootfile comx_p4080/comx_p4080_<version_number>/u-boot.bin => setenv nandfsfile comx_p4080/comx_p4080_<version_number>/rootfs_jffs2.nand 12. Test that the network and filename settings can download the files successfully. Example: => tftpboot $loadaddr $rcwfile => tftpboot $loadaddr $fmanfile => tftpboot $loadaddr $bootfile => tftpboot $loadaddr $norfsfile => tftpboot $loadaddr $fdtfile => tftpboot $loadaddr $ubootfile => tftpboot $loadaddr $nandfsfile 13. Upgrade individually RCW, FMAN ucode, kernel, RAMDISK image, U-Boot and device tree blob on NOR FLASH. Example: COMX-P4080 FEB/18/ Page 11 of 13

12 => run updrcw; run updfman; run updkernel; run updnorfs; run updfdt; run upduboot 14. Upgrade NAND FLASH image. It may take several minutes. Example: => run updnandfs 15. Erase previous U-Boot environment settings: => run eraenv 16. Reset the board. => reset 17. The board will boot up with new BSP. NOTICE: All U-Boot environments will be set to factory default during the upgrade procedure. If there have been changes made before the upgrade, make note to them so it can be reapplied afterwards.
