       astribank_hexload -D device-path -p [options] hexfile1 .. hexfile4

       astribank_hexload -D device-path -O [-A] [options] imagefile

       astribank_hexload -D device-path -o [options]

       astribank_hexload -h

DESCRIPTION

       astribank_hexload is a second-stage firmware loader for Xorcom Astribanks.

       Note  that  some  very  old models use fpga_load(8) instead.  This legacy tool hasn't been
       used for several releases.  It can be found in version 2.6 and below of dahdi-tools.

       The astribank_hexload(8) program is used to load a file in the Intel  HEX  format  into  a
       Xorcom Astribank.  It can be used to load either an FPGA firmware or a PIC firmware. It is
       normally run by the script xpp_fxloader.

OPTIONS

       -D device-path
              Required. The device to read  from/write  to.  This  is  bus_num/device_num,  where
              bus_num  and  device_num  are  the  first  two numbers in the output of lsusb(8) or
              dahdi_hardware(8).  On older versions of this tool you needed a  complete  path  to
              the     device,     which     would    be    /dev/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num,    or
              /proc/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num.

       One of the following is required:

       -F
              The firmware to load is a FPGA firmware.

       -p
              The firmwares to load is are PIC firmwares. All (typically  4)  should  be  on  the
              command-line.

       -O
              The firmware to load is an Octasic echo canceller firmware image file.

       -o
              Don't  load firmware. Just print the version number of the currently-loaded Octasic
              echo canceller firmware.

       -E
              The firmware to load is a special EEPROM burning one.

       Other options:

       -v
              Increase verbosity. May be used multiple times.

       -d mask
              Set debug mask to mask. Default is 0, 0xFF is "everything".

       -h
              Displays usage message.

       -A
              When loading a Octasic echo canceller firmware,  set  the  channels  of  the  first
              Astribank  module to use aLaw (G.711a). This is what you'd normally use for BRI and
              E1. If not set, the default mu-Law (G.711u), which is what you'd normally  use  for
              FXS, FXO and T1.
