2.7. Loadability of the FPGA on the STMI4/NCUI4 board

It is possible to load the FPGA code on the gateway boards STMI4 and NCUI4.

Usually the FPGA code is supplied with a LW hotfix (or via fix release, minor release, hotfix). There are three files:

the SENTA file,
COMGA file for STMI4 and
COMGA file for NCUI4.

IMPORTANT:

The update of the SENTA/COMGA firmware (FPGA code) cannot be done from remote!

Figure 15. FPGA - Hardware components involved

Prerequisite:

The loadware for SENTA /COMGA must be saved via PCHI tool / ftp transfer (binary) on the PC. Before the update can be executed, the loadware must be transferred to a PC in the customer’s network and which has access to the WBM of the board (WBM client).

Update:

The update of SENTA loadware and COMGA loadware is done via WBM. In the section Maintenance > Config and Update > Software Update you have two possibilities:

Load COMGA-Firmware via HTTP or
Load SENTA-Firmware via HTTP.

IMPORTANT:

The following description of the firmware update is done for SENTA loadware. For COMGA firmware the instructions are the same but choose Load COMGA-Firmware via HTTP from the menu.

Choose Load SENTA-Firmware via HTTP from the menu.
Select the new file of the SENTA loadware from your local PC by pressing the Browse button.
Press the Load button for staring the loadware transfer to the flash memory of the board.
Upload process has finished when the following screen appears.
Confirm with OK.
Activate the new SENTA firmware by pressing the Activate now button.

IMPORTANT:

After completion of the activation process the gateway will be rebooted automatically!
Confirm the activation process by clicking OK.
The new SENTA firmware will be updated, activated and the gateway will be rebooted.

Trace:

The whole process can be monitored with switched on trace SWCONF, level 9.
