Sample bootup.cfg
- Kelli Higdon
Â
Below is a sample bootup.cfg file. Use the bootup.cfg file when loading software using an SD card. The file is normally shipped on the SD card with default values. These values need to be modified for the local network. Once modified they can be saved back to the SD card. If the bootup.cfg is not present on the SD card, the file below can be copied to the SD card and modified for the local network. The explanations set in the yellow font below need to be deleted before using the card to load software as they are not part of the file.
The explanations in parentheses are simply there to aid in understanding what each line represents.

The following example displays a sample bootup.cfg file:
# INSTRUCTIONS
 Â
#1. Edit values as required, as described below.
 Â
# Change IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address to the actual #values for the BDN.
 Â
# Make sure "System Software Filename" is set appropriately for your configuration and #Boot method
# System software is loaded using one the methods below:
# Software Download using FTP server and SD card
#Â Â Â Â (file=ftpBuilds/bdn2020_ver230xx_id0201.bin)
# Software Download using FTP server and SD card using symbolic link
#Â Â Â Â (file=ftpBuilds/bdn2020_id0201.bin)
# Software and IP Download using only SD card
#Â Â Â Â (file=bdn2020_ver230xx_id0201.bin)
 Â
# If you change the version of BDN System Software on the FTP Server or the SD card, make sure you change the System Software Filename #value to match download method. When using the symbolic link, only the link needs to be updated. In any case, you must ensure the filename ends with _id0201.bin in order for it to be recognized by the platform.
 Â
# Make sure Host Flag is set appropriately for your configuration and #Boot method
 Â
# Hex/Dec
# 0x00/0Â = Boot from FTP, T1 system
# 0x02/2Â = Boot from FTP, E1 system
# 0x20/32 = Boot from SD card, T1 system
# 0x22/34 = Boot from SD card, E1 system
 Â
# Change Server Address to the actual address of the FTP server.
 Â
# The Server Name is not used at this time.
 Â
#2. After editing this file: save file, remove SD card, insert SD card #in the BDN, power-up the BDN.

If the IMG 2020 is set to boot from the SD card and a fault file occurs, the fault file will be saved on the SD card. If the FTP siaddr for the bootup.cfg file is set, then the fault file will also be transferred to this location.
