Firmware UpdateΒΆ
The Polaris firmware can be updated on ground using the provided Satlab JTAG/serial adapater. The update procedure requires a Linux development machine and OpenOCD version 0.10.0 or later, which can be installed from http://openocd.org/ or most distribution package managers. Please ensure that the udev
permissions are also configured as described in Getting Started.
Firmware packages are distributed as a tar.xz
archive. The package includes a script, flash.py
, which wraps the OpenOCD commands and flashes the board:
Note
For on-orbit updates, please see the BTP Client Library and Bootloader section.
