The boot loader via Ethernet

[小勇邹]

I run the boot loader example according to the document "AN4367".The boot loader example is based on FNET stack.

The PC pings the MCU successfully.The MCU always shows that "TFTP Error: Code 0 "Connection failed" when running the command "tftp".

I use the tool "wireshark" to capture the Ethernet data. The tool does not find the "tftp" request that is based on UDP protocol.

Can you help me find out the problem?

Remark:

1,RMII mode is selected in the TWR-K60N512.

Thank you very much.Yes,it is caused by the firewall/antivirus on my PC.

Most probably, it is caused by a firewall/antivirus on your PC, which you are using as the TFTP server. Just disable it.

Hi Andrey:

I have been using FNET for firmware update and it works very well with tftp client (from tftpd32.jounin.net) mentioned in the documentation.

But when I tried to use Windows 7's tftp client tool, the update process could not be completed successfully. The erasing was successful,

but after erasing no more messages were displayed and the erasing repeated several times and then stopped.

My question: Does FNET support Windows 7's tftp client tool for data transfer?

Best regards!

I still use Tftpd32 tool on Windows 7. Not perfect, but works.

Did not check it with Windows native tFTP tool (you may take it as not supported).

Dear Andrey,

I have modified the FNET2.6.5 and only use the tftp server
function to download the firmware.

All the printf functions and serial command functions are
disabled.

I want to add watch dog function to FNET2.6.5.

I set the period of watch dog as 100ms.

I refresh the watch dog in the functions:

1,fapp_main;

2,fnet_flash_erase;

3,fnet_flash_write_low;

4,fnet_memcpy.

Where also should I refresh the watch dog for the
fnet_stack source code(especially for the Ethernet protocol stack source
code)?

Best regards.

Robin Zou.

I would added it to fnet_timer_ticks_inc() - occurs every FNET timer period (100ms by default).

Dear Andrey,

I make the boot loader example run in the TWR-K60N512.

The boot loader can download the image in the project fnet\fnet_demos\shell_boot.ewp .

The application firmware runs normally after downloading.

I replace the image with the one(in the attachment) in the demo project “TWR-K60N512_Quick_Start_Demo” that is provided by Freescale in the TWR-K60N512.

The application firmware cannot run normally after downloading. And the boot loader firmware resets again and again.

I modify the source code in the boot loader firmware.

Replace “(( void()() )FNET_CPU_INSTRUCTION_ADDR(address))(); / Jump. */” with

“JumpToUserApplication(((unsigned long)0xC000), ((unsigned long)( 0xC000 +4)));”

void JumpToUserApplication(unsigned long userSP, unsigned long userStartup)

{

// set up stack pointer

__asm("msr msp, r0");

__asm("msr psp, r0");

// Jump to PC (r1)

__asm("mov pc, r1");

}

The application firmware can run normally after downloading after I modify the boot loader firmware.

I do not know what is the reason.

Can you help me find out it?

Best regards.

Robin Zou.
