== CM-X300 Firmware Update process ==

=== Preliminary ===
Some basic steps are needed to be taken in order to update the CM-X300 firmware successfully:
* Make sure to power off the CM-X300 board
* Connect one end of the supplied serial cable to your module's base board and the other one to your host system
* Start terminal console application on your host system and configure the following:
** Set the serial port to one with the attached cable
** Set baud rate to 38400 bps
** 8 bit per frame
** 1 stop bit
** no parity
** no flow control
* Turn the CM-X300 board on
* Now you should get the U-Boot command prompt in your terminal application
{{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 could be updated either from [[U-Boot_for_CM-X300#USB_flash_drive|USB flash drive]] (with FAT filesystem), or from [[U-Boot_for_CM-X300#Network_tftp_download|Network tftp download]].
Either method is done from U-Boot command line.

=== 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>
U-Boot> usb start
(Re)start USB...
USB: scanning bus for devices... 2 USB Device(s) found
scanning bus for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found
U-Boot> fatls usb 0
524288 cm-x300-firmware

1 file(s), 0 dir(s)
</pre>

* Load the firmware to memory
** Type: ''fatload usb 0 80a00000 <firmware filename>''

<pre>
U-Boot> fatload usb 0 80a00000 cm-x300-firmware
reading cm-x300-firmware

524288 bytes read
</pre>
* Proceed to [[U-Boot_for_CM-X300#Update_process|Update process]] section

=== Network tftp download ===
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!
* Download the firmware to module's memory
** Type: ''tftp 80a00000 <firmware filename>''
<pre>
U-Boot> tftp 80a00000 cm-x300-firmware
dm9000 i/o: 0x8000010, id: 0x90000a46
DM9000: running in 16 bit mode
MAC: 00:01:c0:05:20:be
operating at 100M full duplex mode
TFTP from server 10.1.1.13; our IP address is 10.1.1.144
Filename 'cm-x300-firmware'.
Load address: 0x80a00000
Loading: ####################################
done
Bytes transferred = 524288 (80000 hex)
</pre>
* Proceed to [[U-Boot_for_CM-X300#Update_process|Update process]] section
{{Note| If you get the "''could not establish link''" message, check that your ethernet plugs are in place and try again.}}

=== Update process ===
{{Warning| DO NOT RESET OR POWER OFF THE MODULE DURING THE UPDATE PROCESS! DOING SO MAY RESULT IN DISABLED MODULE!}}

* Flash the firmware to onboard NAND storage
** Type: ''nand erase 0 80000''
** Type: ''nand write 80a00000 0 80000''
<pre>
U-Boot> nand erase 0 80000

NAND erase: device 0 offset 0x0, size 0x80000
Erasing at 0x60000 -- 100% complete.
OK
U-Boot> nand write 80a00000 0 80000

NAND write: device 0 offset 0x0, size 0x80000
524288 bytes written: OK
</pre>
* Now you may reset the board

{{Important|In case you use Windows CE and you update U-Boot, you will need to load the ImageUdater after the U-Boot update. There is no need to install the image again. This will update the NAND flash metadata that is crucial for Windows CE.}}
