How to enter netX 90 Console Mode via packet command?
How to start netX console mode via packet command?
Note: The described service is not supported by all LFWs yet. It will be available in Firmwares released in January 2020 and later.
Use the HIL_FIRMWARE_RESET_REQ packet command with the HIL_RESET_MODE_CONSOLESTART mode.
Firmware Reset request
The application uses the following packet in order to reset the netX chip. The application has to send this packet through the system mailbox.
Variable | Type | Value / Range | Description |
ulDest | uint32_t | 0x00000000 | HIL_PACKET_DEST_SYSTEM |
ulLen | uint32_t | 8 | Packet data length (in Bytes) |
ulCmd | uint32_t | 0x00001E00 | HIL_FIRMWARE_RESET_REQ |
Data | |||
ulTimeToReset | uint32_t | 0 | Time delay until reset is executed in milliseconds [ms] Fix: 500ms (not changeable) |
ulResetMode | uint32_t | 0 | Reset Mode & Parameter Specify the kind of reset to execute (see table below). |
Table : HIL_FIRMWARE_RESET_REQ_T – Firmware Reset request
Variable: ulResetMode | |
Bit No. | Definition / Description |
31..9 | reserved |
8 | Delete complete remanent data area after reset. 1 = Remanent data area will be deleted. 0 = Remanent data area will not be deleted. This option is only available for the modes BOOTSTART and UPDATESTART. |
7..4 | Reset Parameter Arguments that will be evaluated upon system reset. For mode HIL_RESET_MODE_UPDATESTART 0x0 … 0xF = This value specifies the firmware that will be installed. For mode HIL_RESET_MODE_CONSOLESTART 0x0 = Start/Enable ethernet interface 0x1 = Start/Enable UART interface 0x2 = Start/Enable USB interface The interface is hardware specific and should only be jumped into if it is actualy available. |
3..0 | Reset Mode |
0 = HIL_RESET_MODE_COLDSTART The cold start will perform a reset of the device and starts the installed firmware again. | |
1 = HIL_RESET_MODE_WARMSTART Unused. | |
2 = HIL_RESET_MODE_BOOTSTART The boot start will perform a reset of the device and starts the maintenance firmware. The boot start can be used to start the maintenance firmware without starting an update process (idle mode). | |
3 = HIL_RESET_MODE_UPDATESTART The update start will perform a reset of the device and start the maintenance firmware. If a valid update file is available, it will be automatically processed and installed. If no update file is available or if the update file is not valid, the maintenance firmware will change into error mode , changes the SYS LED (to yellow on) and sets an error code (e.g. ERR_HIL_NOT_AVAILABLE, 0xC0001152). | |
4 = HIL_RESET_MODE_CONSOLESTART The console start will perform a reset of the device and start the specified ROM loader console mode (see Reset Parameter above). The firmware will not start up again, all communication takes place with the ROM loader now. | |
