Firmware Rescue Procedure



If your device no longer responds after firmware upgrade chances are the upgrade went wrong. There is a number of reasons why it may have happened so we have implemented a procedure into the bootloader to allow easy firmware rescue.


The steps required to perform:


1. You need to obtain tftp server software, the free one is available at tftpd32.jounin.net

2. Install tftpd32.exe into the directory where firmware files are located

3. Rename the firmware file to upgrade.bin

4. Change your computer IP address to 192.168.1.23 netmask 255.255.255.0

5. Connect the OSBRiDGE device to the computer via ethernet cross-over cable or via network switch

6. Turn on the OSBRiDGE device, it will initiate the tftp file transfer automaticaly, reflash and reboot itself.


The device will reboot with restored firmware and configuration it had before the firmware upgrade.
