Analysis:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no separate document for the GD4 loading procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow the below DHCP procedure to flashing new binary<\/strong>GD4:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prerequisites : <\/u><\/strong>
 – CS with patch that supports GD4 (or else, manually create downbin\/mg4 folder with the binaries with root permissions – “other” option and manual path selection needed in DHCP Config File option)
 – GD4 to be connected on same lan as CS
1. On CS enable DHCP config<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. mgr->DHCP Config->R\/M<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Configuration + DHCP Server<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. mgr->DHCP Config->D\/H->CPU Main->R\/M<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Update below fields                         
      Default router address : <router\/gw address. e.g. 172.19.11.254>
      TFTP Server address : <CS IP e.g. 172.19.11.15><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. mgr->DHCP Config->D\/H->CPU Main->Static IP->Create<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Update following fields
        IP address : 172.19.11.44    ==>GD4 IP@                  
        MAC Address : 00:80:9f:9c:f3:54   ==>GD4 MAC                   
        TFTP Server address : 172.19.11.15 ==> CS IP@
        Configuration file + MG4:-\/downbin\/mg4\/binmg4start<\/strong>


        2. On GD4 :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Use Ctrl+b Crtl+i to enter uboot menu when prompted with the countdown
        Make only one time
        U-Boot>> setenv ipaddr 172.19.11.44  ==> GD4 IP
        U-Boot>> setenv serverip 172.19.11.15 ==> CS IP
        U-Boot>> setenv gatewayip 172.19.11.254 ==> router gateway IP
        U-Boot>> setenv netmask 255.255.255.0
        U-Boot>> saveenv
        U-Boot>> reset

        In second time
        U-Boot>> ping 172.19.11.1
        Redo the above ping test with multiple IPs -router\/gateway, CS etc. It will take some seconds till it is alive and the ping succeeds.
        U-Boot>> tftpboot \/DHS3bin\/downbin\/mg4\/binmg4start
        (if tftp NOK redo last command)
        U-Boot>> source $loadaddr

        Now the download of the binaries will start
        Pay attention to the logs \u2013
        If you notice a TFTP timeout like this :
        <RD_check_sd> assuming boot from ramdisk, so need to fill empty file system
        <RD_check_sd> call tftp to get rootfs archive…..
        tftp: timeout<\/strong>
        then there is a problem on the CS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        We were able to resolve this in our lab as follows :
        2 consoles on the CS open \u2013 from one we continuously pinged the GD4 IP address; and the other we ran a tcpdump from root
        With this the download was successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Once completed, the GD4 will reboot and the mcgonfig menu will open up where all parameters need to be initialized fresh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
