.. hint::
Only the .swu image is need if you have already a working installation of CoreOS
running on the board that you want to update.
CoreOS Pre-installation guide
=============================
The CoreOS installation process expect a working EFI firmware based on u-boot
running on the board.
For board that have no firmware or a defect firmware, we can provide the firmware by
booting over USB.
First, we need to put the board in USB Boot mode by modifying the dip-switch
on the back of the board:
.. code-block::
ON
S500 ▄ ▀ ▄ ▀ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
.. hint::
Unflashed board or board without a valid tiboot3.bin image will default to
USB boot mode, so settings the dip-switch may be skipped in this case.
Then you need to populate the jumper X600 near the USB port:
.. image:: netmodule-hw34/hw34-usb-device.png
Then power-up the board by first apply 12V throug the main connector, then
connect a USB-C cable. Console access to the board can be accessed using the
serial port on the main connector.
.. important::
When removing the power, ensure that the USB cable is removed first. Otherwise
the processor will not get shutdown properly
Now you should see the board from you computer:
.. code-block:: sh
lsusb | grep DFU
Bus 003 Device 048: ID 0451:6165 Texas Instruments, Inc. AM64x DFU
Now we start downloading the bootloaders into RAM by using dfu-utils:
.. code-block:: sh
dfu-util -D tiboot3.bin -a 0
dfu-util -D tispl.bin -a 0
# Eject and start execution of tispl
dfu-util -e -a 0
dfu-util -D u-boot.img -a 1
# Eject ans tart of u-boot.img
dfu-util -e -a 1
.. hint::
The firmware was uploaded to the RAM, thus will not survice a reboot.
Now that we have a firmware running, CoreOS can be installed by following
the :ref:`generic installation manual<Installation Manual>`.
CoreOS Post-Installation
========================
When the installation of CoreOS is done, power down the board by first
removing the USB-C cable then the main power.
Now, put the board back in emmc boot mode:
.. code-block::
ON
S500 ▀ ▄ ▄ ▀ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Then power-up the board again and CoreOS should boot.
