== CM-A510 Firmware Update process ==

=== Preliminary ===
Some basic steps are needed to be taken in order to update the CM-A510 firmware successfully:
* Make sure to power off the CM-A510 board
* Connect the host PC to the CM-A510 via the serial cable supplied with the CM-A510 evaluation kit.
* Start terminal console application on your host system and configure the following:
** Set the serial port to the COM port to which the serial cable is connected.
** Set baud rate to 115200 bps
** 8 bit per frame
** 1 stop bit
** no parity
** no flow control
* Turn on the CM-A510 system
* The U-Boot boot-loader will start and you will get a command prompt
{{Note| If you have an operating system installed or U-Boot environment configured for auto boot, you will have to stop the auto boot sequence by pressing any key in your terminal application during the start of the boot process!}}
U-Boot firmware can be updated from a [[CM-A510:_U-Boot:_Firmware_Update#Network_TFTP_download|Network TFTP download]], from a [[CM-A510:_U-Boot:_Firmware_Update#USB_flash_drive|USB flash drive]] (with FAT filesystem), or from a [[CM-A510:_U-Boot:_Firmware_Update#Hard Disk|Hard disk]] (with FAT/EXT2 filesystem).
Either method is done from U-Boot command line.

=== Preferred U-Boot Update Option ===
{{Warning| DO NOT RESET OR POWER OFF THE MODULE DURING THE UPDATE PROCESS! DOING SO MAY RESULT IN DISABLED MODULE!}}
In order to use this update method, you need:
* TFTP service/server installed on your host system
* Firmware file should reside in the root directory of TFTP service

To update the U-Boot firmware via tftp download, follow the instructions precisely!
* You can use U-boot {{cmd|dhcp}} command to obtain IP address or manually set {{parameter|ipaddr}} environment variable:
<pre>
> setenv ipaddr <CM-A510 ip address>
</pre>
* Set {{parameter|serverip}} environment variable and save the new environment to SPI flash:
<pre>
> setenv serverip <host ip address>
> saveenv
</pre>
* Download the firmware using the {{cmd|bubt}} command.
** Type: ''bubt <firmware filename>''
** Type: ''y'' to override U-Boot environment with default one

=== Other U-Boot Update Options ===
==== USB flash drive ====
{{Note| Please, connect your flash drive directly to the base board of the module! Do not use any USB hubs or other separating equipment!}}
To update the U-Boot firmware via USB flash drive, follow the instructions precisely!
* Start the U-Boot USB subsystem and check that your storage device is ready and contains the firmware
** Type: ''usb start''
** Type: ''fatls usb 0'' to ensure you have the firmware in place
<pre>
CM-A510>> usb start
(Re)start USB...

* Proceed to [[CM-A510: U-Boot: Firmware Update#Update process|Update process]] section

==== Hard Disk ====
To update the U-Boot firmware via Hard Disk, follow the instructions precisely!
* Start the U-Boot SATA subsystem and check that your storage device is ready and contains the firmware
** Type: ''ide reset''
** Type: ''fatls/ext2ls ide 0:1'' to ensure you have the firmware in place
<pre>
CM-A510>> ide reset
