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.
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
- 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
