NAME

       ao-sky-flash - flash GPS firmware program to a SkyTraq GPS chip

SYNOPSIS

       ao-sky-flash [-T tty-device] [--tty tty-device] [-D altos-device] [--device altos-device] [--loader boot-
       loader] [--firmware gps-firmware] [--query] [--quiet] [--raw]

DESCRIPTION

       ao-sky-flash  loads  the  specified  GPS  firmware  file  into the target GPS chip flash memory using the
       specified boot loader.

OPTIONS

       -T tty-device | --tty tty-device
              This selects which tty device the debugger uses to communicate with the target device.

       -D AltOS-device | --device AltOS-device
              Search for a connected device. This requires an argument of one of the following forms:

              TeleMetrum:2
              TeleMetrum
              2

              Leaving out the product name will cause the tool to select a suitable  product,  leaving  out  the
              serial number will cause the tool to match one of the available devices.

       --loader boot-loader
              This  specifies  the  desired  boot  loader  to  use  for  reflashing  the  device. You should use
              srec_115200.bin unless you have a good reason not to. This should be in S record format.

       --firmware gps-firmware
              This specifies the new GPS firmware image to load onto the target GPS chip. No checking is done on
              this device at all; flash garbage and the GPS chip will probably fail to boot.

       --query
              Instead of loading new firmware, query the current version  of  firmware  running  on  the  target
              device.

       --quiet
              Normally, ao-spy-flash is quite chatty. This shuts it up, except for error messages.

       --raw  The  expected  target for reflashing is an Altus Metrum product with the GPS chip connected to the
              CPU on that board and not directly to the USB serial port. This option says that  the  target  GPS
              chip is directly connected, which changes how things are initialized a bit.

USAGE

       ao-sky-flash  loads  the  specified bootloader into device RAM and then uses that to load new firmware to
       flash.
