Latest Firmware updates:

  • Version: B.02.21 (29 Jun 2006) File name: PF_CCANGSPB0221.tar.gz (1.2 MB)

Batteries:

  • it seems the A6696B needs a CR2032 battery replacement

Update process

You need a FTP server. On Linux I used the vsftpd FTP server, but you need to increase the timeout values!

idle_session_timeout=6000
data_connection_timeout=1200


The firmware update should take no more than 5 minutes.

Prior to Installation:
Unpacking the Firmware.
Download "PF_CCANGSPB0221.tar.gz" and FTP to an empty directory on an FTP server with the core I/O LAN on the same subnet as the GSP to be updated.
Use the "gunzip" command to unzip the patch:
# gunzip PF_CCANGSPB0221.tar.gz
Use the "tar" command to extract the firmware files:
        # tar -xvf PF_CCANGSPB0221.tar
        x B0221.bin, 2189356 bytes, 4277 tape blocks
        x Resources.out, 504267 bytes, 985 tape blocks
        x gsp_a_upg.cnf, 200 bytes, 1 tape blocks
        x version.dat, 16 bytes, 1 tape blocks
Verify the checksum of the files using the "cksum" command. Results of the command should be equal to the following output:
        # cksum
        2674512762 2189356 B0221.bin
        1537136308 504267  Resources.out
        744137293 200 gsp_upg.cnf
        4278717776 16 version.dat
Installation Instructions:
Establish a telnet session with the GSP.
Logon to the GSP.
Type CTRL-ecf to get console write access.
Type CTRL-b to enter the GSP.
Ping the LAN where the GSP files are located via the XD command item #3.
      GSP> xd

      XD

      Non destructive tests :
         1. Parameters checksum
         2. I2C access (get Power Monitor status)
         3. LAN access (PING)
         4. Modem selftests
         5. Secondary I2C access (get System status)

      Type R to reset the GSP or [Q] to quit the diagnostic
      menu.

      -> Choice: 3
      3
      Enter IP Address:
This test must pass on the server being used to supply the update files.
Reset the GSP via the XD command (use the R option). This will free up any unallocated memory for the GSP update.
      GSP> xd

      XD

      Non destructive tests :
         1. Parameters checksum
         2. I2C access (get Power Monitor status)
         3. LAN access (PING)
         4. Modem selftests
         5. Secondary I2C access (get System status)

      Type R to reset the GSP or [Q] to quit the diagnostic
      menu.

      -> Choice: r
      r

      The GSP is now being reset...
Select the GSP command XU. This command activates the upgrade mode. Update the GSP firmware to the B.02.21 firmware.
      GSP> xu

      XU

      This command activates the upgrade mode. All
      connections will be closed ,the session will be
      aborted and the modem connection will be dropped
      immediately, web and telnet connections will be

      n (if using local server and local server login is
      needed).
      IE: if root then supply root password
