Zebra Technologies FX7500 Operators Guide

APPENDIX C FTP FIRMWARE UPGRADE

Introduction

This appendix provides reader firmware update information on usin g the web-based Administrator Console.
The following methods are available to update the firmware on the FX7500 reader.

•

Update using a USB drive.

•

File-based update that allows uploading the firmware files from the PC (or a network location) to the
reader and running the update.

•

FTP / FTPS / SCP server-based update.

Use this procedure to update the following software components:

•

uboot

•

OS

•

Reader Server Application (includes Radio API and Radio firmware)

Prerequisites

The following items are required to perform the update:

•

Reader with power supply or POE connection

•

Laptop (or other host computer)

•

An Ethernet cable

•

An FTP server

•

Current firmware file examples:

• OSUpdate.elf

• response.txt

• u-boot_X.X.X.X.bin (uBoot, X.X.X.X is a filename version)

• uImage_ X.X.X.X (OS, X.X.X.X is a filename variable)

C - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide

• rootfs_ X.X.X.X.jffs2 (Root FileSystem, X.X.X.X is a filename variable)

• platform_ X.X.X.X.tar.gz (Platform partition, X.X.X.X is a filename variable)

Refer to the release notes to determine which files were updated; not all of the files are updated in every
release.

Failsafe Update

FX7500 provides true failsafe firmware update. Each partition (such as OS and platform) has an active and
backup partition.

The firmware update process always writes the new images to the backup partition. This ensures that any
power or network outages in the middle of firmware update does not prevent the reader from being operational.
In the case of a firmware update failure, the power LED on the reader lights red.

Update Phases

The firmware update takes place in three phases:

•

Phase 1 - The reader application retrieves the response.txt and OSUpdate.elf files from the ftp server.

•

Phase 2 - The reader application shuts down and the OSUpdate starts. The files referenced in the
response.txt file are retrieved from the FTP server and written to flash.

•

Phase 3 - The reader resets after all partitions update successfu lly. It may als o update the RFID fir mware

if it detects a different version in the platform partition.

A typical entry in the

Response.txt is:

;platform partition

-t5 -fplatform_1.1.15.0.tar.gz -s8004561 -u8130879

NOTE The Application Server, Radio API, and Radio firmware code all reside in the Platform partition.

The

-t parameter is the file type, -f is the name of the file, and -s the size. Ensure the file size is correct.

Updating Methods

Download the reader update files from http://www.motorolasolutions.com/support, then use one of three
methods to update the reader software to a later version, e.g., 1.1.45.0 or higher:

•

Update Using a USB Drive (Recommended)

•

File-Based Update on page C-6

•

FTP-Based Update on page C-8

Update Using a USB Drive (Recommended)

1. Copy all reader update files into the root folder of the USB drive.

Introduction

This appendix describes how to connect to a wireless network using a USB Wi-Fi dongle on the FX7500, and
how to connect to a peer device over Bluetooth using a USB Bluetooth dongle.

Connecting to a Wireless Network Using a Wi-Fi Dongle

To connect to a wireless network using a USB Wi-Fi dongle on the FX7500:

1. Plug the supported wireless dongle into the USB host port on the FX7500. Supported dongles are:

•

Wi-Fi over USB adapters with Realtek chipset RTL 8187

•

The following devices were tested:

• Alfa AWUS036H, visit http://www.alfa.com.tw/in/front/bin/ptlist.phtml?Category=10541

• CCrane Versa Wifi USB Adapter II, visit

The WiFi dongle can connect to the wireless network in one of two ways:

• Manually entering the ESSID (if known).

• Scanning the current list of APs and choosing the correct one to connect to.
