My 353 was on 8.0.7.1, and I wanted to upgrade it to 8.0.9. I setup NFS and tried using the web interface - the "Check NFS" and "Validate Files" functions worked, but pressing "Reflash" did nothing (it reported it was working, but it didn't seem to do anything).

At this point (if memory serves), I tried running nfs_update manually, and this seems to have bricked the camera. I no longer have access to the log file, but it reported nothing but erases. The NIC lights no longer light on the camera.

Now I'm on to trying to flash to 8.0.9 via netboot. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. I installed the Elphel Software Kit for Ubuntu - configured NFS, installed the cris tools (with the downgraded compiler and accepting all defaults), and built the Elphel software using 'elphel353_80_install_from_cvs.sh'. I then downloaded and installed 'elphel353-8.0.9', as that's the version I want.

I then attempt to follow the instructions at 'http://wiki.elphel.com/index.php?title=Netboot_firmware_upgrade'. <http://wiki.elphel.com/index.php?title=Netboot_firmware_upgrade%27.>..

I 'cd' to '/home/brian/elphel353-8.0.9/elphel353' - no problem.

I run '. ./init_env' - prepends the two paths to my PATH.

Then, I run the netboot command - 'sudo .netboot -mac 000E64000000 -ip 192.168.1.9 -nfs 192.168.1.11:/nfs/images/8.0.9 -cmd update -d eth0 -nfs_dir /nfs/images/8.0.9' - and get this:

./netboot: line 40: cmdline: command not found
cat: kimage: No such file or directory
./netboot: line 44: etraxfsboot: command not found

Frustrating. I know 'init_env' should help here, but it didn't. What am I missing? Doing an 'echo $PATH' confirms that '/home/brian/elphel353-8.0.9/elphel353/tools/build/bin' and '/usr/local/cris/bin' are in there. I can cd to 'tools/build/bin' and see that 'etraxfsboot' and 'cmdline' are there, but 'whereis etraxfsboot' gives me nothing.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

I assume that this init_env script does an EXPORT?
You could add the directories to your bashrc and then do "source ~/.bashrc" to refresh it.
After that use sudo for the netboot command.

Here's mine:
/#elphel
export AXIS_TOP_DIR="~/elphel/elphel353"
export PATH="$AXIS_TOP_DIR/tools/build/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/cris/bin:$PATH"
export AXIS_KERNEL_DIR="$AXIS_TOP_DIR/os/linux-2.6/"

Change that according to your configuration (AXIS_TOP_DIR).

Did you hook up the serial console (at the side of the unit)? What does for example cutecom say?
Did you boot the camera a few times like suggested?
http://wiki.elphel.com/index.php?title=Netboot_firmware_upgrade

Is your network configured correctly? :D

If all goes well, the serial console will tell you when to shut the camera down.

Cheers, Heinrich
