This article describes how to upload firmware to a Turbine device if the firmware is corrupted and the unit is bricked.
It is important that this must be used as a last resort and the only way to reach the unit is using serial port.
This applies to the following devices:
- ESC1 Controller - only the Secondary System Controller.
- ENA Amplifiers
- ECPIR-P/ECPIR-3P/EAPIR-8 Access Panels.
- EAPII-1/EAPII-6 Access Panels.
- TKIS-2/TKIE-1 kits.
Contents
Prerequisite
The upgrade process is done by using the following tools:
- Standard TFTP server.
- Serial console to run the process.
In order to upload the firmware you need the following:
- USB to Serial Cable. A tutorial on how to make the cable can be found here.
This cable must be used for the access panels and the kits.
- For the ESC Controller and ENA Amplifiers you need to use a serial cable like this:
- TFTP server with the image package. TFTP server
- SSH client. PuTTY:
Connection
A tutorial on how to connect PC to Turbine device can be found here.
Procedure
Prepare the TFTP server on the PC
The TFTP server must be prepared with a image package (exi-x.x.x.x).
On a standard TFTP server extract and store the archive to the TFTP root folder.
Step-By-Step
- Connect the modified USB cable to the turbine device.
- Connect a Ethernet cable for the new Image transfer.
