MG – MGC Loadware Creation
NOTE

A pre-configured MGC pre-programmed compact flash can be ordered directly from E-MetroTel using the quote tool on the E-MetroTel Partner Portal. Using the E-MetroTel-provided compact flash ensure the system can be fully supported. However, the following steps provide details on creating the required MGC Loadware on a user supplied compact flash card. This procedure should only be performed by those with a technical understanding of CS1000 technical procedures.

MGC loadware is contained on the MGCs compact flash. When using an MGC with E-MetroTel UCX software, the following supported loadware lineup is required:
BOOTCODE: MGCBAP01
CSP:   MGCCBD04
MSP:     MGCMAB01
FPGA:     MGCFAA19
APPLICATION: MGCABA07
DB1: DSP1AB06
DB2: DSP2AB06
BCSP: MGCCBD04

Preparation

You will need to open an E-MetroTel support ticket to request access to the MGC loadware file: MGCCSPBD04.tar.gz which contains 8 directories and 15 files.

The contents of the uncompressed file will be as follows:

The compact flash present on MGC is already formatted to have /p and /p1 partitions. The formatting of compact flash is done by Gold CSP image which is flashed onto MGC card. The important loadwares for operation are the CSP, MSP, FPGA and DSP.

Transferring loadwares to MGC card

  1. Connect to MGC card using sftp:
    sftp pdt2@<ELAN-IP-Aaddress-Of-MGC>
  2. Enter bin in sftp shell to set to binary mode.
  3. Check present working directory on MGC with command: pwd. Ensure that the directory is /p. If necessary, change the directory using cd /p
  4. Transfer the following files to the /p directory:
    • ​​​​mainos.sys
    • mainos.sym
    • cspversion.txt
    • version.lst
  5. Change directory to /p/msp using the command cd /p/msp
  6. Transfer the following files to the /p/msp directory:
    • ​​mgcmsp.o
    • version.txt
  7. Change directory to /p/dbfw/hd using the command cd /p/dbfw/hd
  8. Transfer the following files to the /p/dbfw/hd directory:
    • hdvoice.axf
    • version.txt
  9. Change directory to /p/dbfw/ld using the command cd /p/dbfw/ld
  10. ​Transfer the following files to the /p/dbfw/ld directory:
    • ldvoice.axf
    • version.txt
  11. The fpga loadware version for MGC is AA16. This can be verified using the fpgaVersionGet command from the ldb> shell on MGC.
  12. If the fpga firmware needs to be updated, please contact E-MetroTel support.
  13. Exit the sftp session.
  14. Reboot MGC card for updated loadwares to take effect.
NOTE

The same set of loadwares could be transferred to the /p1 partition as well, but it is not necessary.
