MesaFlash - utility to flash Mesa Electronics FPGA Cards
mesaflash [options] [commands]
mesaflash Read, write, configure Mesa Electronics FPGA
cards.
- --device
name
- Select active device name. If no command is given it will detect board
with given name and print info about it.
The special values "ETHER", "SPI" and
"AUTO" will attempt to detect a device on ethernet, SPI, or
any interface; --addr still needs to be specified for non-PCI
devices.
- --addr
[ip]|[device]
- Use ip or device name to look for <name> (IP address for Ethernet
boards, serial device name for USB boards and serial boards, SPI device
name for SPI boards)
- --addr_hi
- Set the high register address for the EPP interface.
- --epp
- Use EPP interface to connect to board, only for boards with multiple
interfaces (7c80, 7c81, 7i43, 7i90, 7i64).
- --usb
- Use USB interface to connect to board, only for boards with multiple
interfaces (7c80, 7c81, 7i43, 7i90, 7i64).
- --spi
- Use SPI interface to connect to board, only for boards with multiple
interfaces (7c80, 7c81, 7i43, 7i90, 7i64).
- --serial
- Use serial interface to connect to board, only for boards with multiple
interfaces (7i43, 7i90, 7i64).
- --fallback
- Use the fallback area of the FLASH memory while executing commands.
- --recover
- Access board using PCI bridge GPIO (currently only 6I24/6I25).
- --xml
- Format output from 'readhmid' command into XML.
- --dbname#
name
- Set daughter board name to 'name' for FPGA connector 'N'. Allows readhmid
to include daughterboard terminal names, where # can be in the range 1 to
6 (1 means first FPGA connector).
- --verbose
- Print detailed information while running commands.
- --write
filename
- Writes a standard bitfile 'filename' configuration to the userarea of the
FLASH memory (IMPORTANT! 'filename' must be VALID FPGA configuration
file).
- --fix-boot-block
- If a write operation does not detect a valid boot block, write one.
- --no-auto-verify
- Don't automatically verify after writing.
- --verify
filename
- Verifies the FLASH memory configuration against the bitfile
'filename'.
- --program
filename
- Writes a standard bitfile 'filename' configuration to the FPGA (IMPORTANT!
'filename' must be VALID FPGA configuration file).
- --backup-flash
filename|dirname
- Backup all content the FLASH memory to the file 'filename' or to the
directory 'dirname' with auto naming dump file.
- --restore-flash
filename
- Restore all content the FLASH memory from a file 'filename' (IMPORTANT!
Can't use a dump file from different types of boards. Unacceptable
interrupt the restoring process. If the restoring process was interrupted,
do not turn off the board power and do not reload board, and run restore
process again). Required SHA256 checksum file 'filename.sha256'.
- --sha256-check
- Integrity check FPGA configuration bitfile before writing. Required SHA256
checksum file 'filename.sha256'.
- --readhmid
- Print hostmot2 configuration in PIN file format.
- --print-pd
- Print hostmot2 Pin Descriptors.
- --reload
- Do full FPGA reload from FLASH memory (only Ethernet, SPI and PCI
boards).
- --reset
- Do full firmware reset (only Ethernet and serial boards).
- --sserial
- Print full information about all sserial remote boards.
- --rpo
address
- Read hostmot2 variable directly at 'address'.
- --wpo address
value
- Write hostmot2 variable directly at 'address' with 'value'.
- --setip="n.n.n.n"
- Set board IP address in EEPROM memory to n.n.n.n (only Ethernet
boards).
- --info
filename
- Print info about configuration in 'filename'.
- --help
- Print the help message
