U2_flash_tool missing

Hanno_Jung · November 26, 2009, 1:55pm

Hi

I’m trying to update the firmware on usrp2’s sd card but I’can’t find
the
flash tool.

I know there was a posting on this topic few weeks ago, where Eric
posted
some Code, but I do not really know what to do with this.

Maybe someone can help me with this or where to get the tool

Hi Hanno,

within the source tree (using trunk or 3.2.2):

[insfl4:gnuradio]% find . -name u2_flash_tool
./usrp2/firmware/u2_flash_tool
[insfl4:gnuradio]% usrp2/firmware/u2_flash_tool --help
Usage: u2_flash_tool: [options] filename

Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-w, --write write FILE to TARGET slot
-v, --verify verify FILE against TARGET slot
-r, --read read TARGET slot, write to FILE
-t TARGET, --target=TARGET
select TARGET slot from: fpga, s/w [default=s/w]
–dev=DEV specify flash device file, e.g., /dev/sdb. Be
careful!

Does this help?

Thx Martin but for some reason the tool was really not where it was
supposed
to be.
I solved the whole problem by recompiling and reinstalling gnuradio.

After that updating the firmware worked fine.

Thanks
