The following procedure is a detailed description of the CLI flash update procedure:
Upgrade firmware procedure
1. Establish console or ssh access to the ATCA-S201. Must be user root.
2. Install a second host machine on the same IP network as the ATCA-S201. This
machines IP address must be visible from the ATCA-S201. Use ping to validate it
is accessible. (e.g. ping 192.168.xxx.xxx)
3. Load the second host machine with TFTP server software. A good quality tftp
program is offered by PumpKIN, an open source and free implementation that
is written to RFC1350.

#
# sbflash -t 192.168.1.151 –r
uboot_flash=/dev/mtd4
rootfs_flash=/dev/mtd2
kernel_flash=/dev/mtd1
