NAME

       fpga_load - Xorcom Astribank (xpp) firmware tool

SYNOPSIS

       fpga_load [-g] [-r] [-v] -D {/proc/bus/usb|/dev/bus/usb}/BUS/DEV

       fpga_load [-g] [-v] -D {/proc/bus/usb|/dev/bus/usb}/BUS/DEV -I firmware.hex [-b dump.bin] [-i]

       fpga_load -h

DESCRIPTION

       fpga_load loads the FPGA firmware to the Xorcom Astribank device.  The syntax resembles that of fxload(8).

OPTIONS

       -b dump.bin
	      Before writing firmware, bump the processed binary file to dump.bin.

       -D DEVICE
	      Required.  The  device  to  read	from/write  to. On modern UDEV-based system this is usually /dev/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num, where
	      bus_num and device_num are the first two numbers in the output of lsusb(8).   On	older  systems	that  use  usbfs,  it  is  usually
	      /proc/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num.

       -r
	      Reset the Astribank and renumerate its USB connection to power on product ID.

       -g
	      Dump all eeprom data to standard output.

       -I fireware_file
	      The firmware file to write to the device.

       -i
	      Show information about the firmware file (valid only with -I option).  Example:

		   ./FPGA_1151.hex: Version=3297 Checksum=58270

	      In particular, the calculated checksum should match the output of sum(1) on the binary firmware file generated by the -b option.

       -v
	      Increase verbosity. May be used multiple times.

       -h
	      Displays usage message.
