# Updating the SVEC bootloader in the PTS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Note:** this only concerns the manufacturers of the SVEC boards.
|
|
|
|
Ordinary users can update the bootloader by following the instructions
|
|
|
|
in the [SVEC Gateware Manual](https://www.ohwr.org/project/svec/wikis/Documents/SVEC-Gateware-Manual).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To benefit from the new features of V2.0 gateware, the SVEC Production
|
|
|
|
Test System must be modified to flash the new version of the bootloader.
|
|
|
|
The update procedure goes as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- download the V2.0 bootloader bitstream in Xilinx .BIT format
|
|
|
|
[here](https://www.ohwr.org/project/svec/uploads/bbb9abcd3ccc8047aa748fb0a8a9d2b9/svec-bootloader-v2-20140207.bit)
|
|
|
|
- replace the old bitstream in the PTS firmware directory with the new
|
|
|
|
one, keeping the original name (case -sensitive). Assuming that you
|
|
|
|
are in the home directory of the PTS machine:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`pts:~$ cp svec-bootloader-v2-20140207.bit
|
|
|
|
pts/test/svec/firmwares/SystemFPGA/svec_bootloader.bit`
|
|
