EN Camera Series

4.7 Updating the Firmware Manually without ENSetup software

It is sometimes necessary to update the firmware by hand when you do not have access to the

network. This can happen, for example, if you have forgotten the IP address of the camera or when
the update via the network fails. To update the firmware by hand, follow the steps below. You will

need to use the RS-232 serial cable and the power/serial debug cable.

1. Log-in (user=root, password=JAIPULNiX) and change the directory to /usr/local/bin.

2. Type “ps” to see the process running. Kill the “dhcpcd” process, if it is running in the

background.

3. Assign a static IP address to the network interface.

Example: To assign a static IP=10.0.0.65 and subnetmask =255.255.255.0, enter this command:

ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.65 netmask 255.255.255.0

4. Via FTP, manually send the firmware file to the /usr/local/bin directory of the EN camera.

5. Run test_bcs utility.

Ex.

test_bcs –a en_YYMMDDVR.app — Updates EN App file

test_bcs -b FPGA_YYMMDDVR.bit — Updates FPGA bitfile

test_bcs -l libdrv_YYMMDDVR.drv — Updates Lib/Drv file

test_bcs -o vmlinuz_YYMMDDVR.osi — Updates OS image

6. Reboot the EN camera (command “reboot”). The new firmware is loaded at the next power-up.
