• Verify if Firmware job is available using the command "crontab -l | grep fwupgrade" as shown below

  Code Block
  root@Filogic-GW:~# crontab -l | grep fwupgrade */15 * * * * /usr/bin/fwupgrade >> /var/log/fwupgrade_cron.log 2>&1

• Automatically the Firmware upgrade job will be triggered every 15mins of current system time.
• Once the Firmware Upgrade job is started, verify the log file - /var/log/fwupgrade.log

• Verify the tftp/http download is happening by noticing the change of file size using below command:
  ls /mnt/bootpart/ -sh  (use this command frequently to verify the file size change)

• Once image download completed, the BPI board will auto reboot and come up with downloaded image.code
• Once the board comes up, check the image loaded in the box using “cat /version.txt” command .It will be upgraded with the image from xconf-server.

Direct Firmware Upgrade using dmcli (Quick Testing)

For development, debugging, or quick validation purposes, firmware upgrades can be triggered directly on the device using the dmcli command without relying on the XConf server.

dmcli eRT setv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_FirmwareDownloadProtocol string <PROTOCOL>
dmcli eRT setv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_FirmwareDownloadURL string <server_IP:Port_num>
dmcli eRT setv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_FirmwareToDownload string <Image_name>
dmcli eRT setv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_FirmwareDownloadAndFactoryReset int 1

Example:

# Using HTTP server.
dmcli eRT setv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_FirmwareDownloadProtocol string HTTP
dmcli eRT setv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_FirmwareDownloadURL string http://192.168.2.122:8080
dmcli eRT setv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_FirmwareToDownload string rdkb-generic-broadband-image_rdk-next_20250904115114.bin.wic.bz2
dmcli eRT setv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_FirmwareDownloadAndFactoryReset int 1

# Using TFTP server.
dmcli eRT setv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_FirmwareDownloadProtocol string TFTP
dmcli eRT setv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_FirmwareDownloadURL string tftp://192.168.2.246:69
dmcli eRT setv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_FirmwareToDownload string aug_04.wic.bz2
dmcli eRT setv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_FirmwareDownloadAndFactoryReset int 1
