Download firmware to the camera through the Ethernet in Windows requires WinPcap (Windows Packet Capture) installation. It can be downloaded from http://winpcap.polito.it/install/default.htm (File itself - http://winpcap.polito.it/install/bin/WinPcap_2_3.exe).
After you install WinPcap you may download new firmware to the camera. There are slightly different download instructions for cameras:
Source code for the download program is available here.
If you are going to use that download program with some
other ETRAX-based products (not Elphel cameras) you will have to modify it as
I modified client side software also. One of the reasons for that change was
that trying the program with USB Ethernet adapter and some (as it turned out
later) faulty computer I noticed that some packets were corrupted (actually
between computer and adapter, so hardware checksums did not help) so I added
additional software generated checksums to both client (see link below) and
PC software. Fill free to contact me if you have any questions on this software.
The software is not a Windows version of e100boot -- I modified original e100boot
that it produces a single data file that is later gzip-ed and attached to a
Windows executable. The result files (designed for distribution over the Internet
to run on Windows PCs using WinPcap) just expand the compressed data (prepared
by the modified e100boot running on GNU/Linux) and send it to the ETRAX100LX
chip.
As of 12/30/2003 the notes above are somewhat obsolete. Current Elphel software is based on the Axis tools for Development Board 82 and can be easily used with other products. On the GNU/Linux side the only change needed was to generate a single file (similar to '--tofiles' original option). My other changes in CBL where related to Intel/Micron flash (not supported by Axis CBL) - they are not needed if working with supported chips. The result files are gzip-ed and transfered to the other OS (see 'make other_os' in elphel_6.2.3.tar.gz).
Latest source code for the Elphel cameras 313/323 different from the Axis Development Board 82 software rev. 1.91 is available at sourceforge.net/projects/elphel - instllation instructions are still on the product download pages (for NC313 or NC323).
Latest source code for the model 303 different from the Axis Development Board software rev. 2.1.0 is available here - elphel_C303.3.2.6.tar.gz
