14. Firmware Upgrade over FTP
WiFly module has a file system for storing firmware and config files. Use the ls command to view files..
File size is displayed in sectors and the active boot image is identified in the final message.
FL#
190 Free, Boot=11, Backup=0
Multiple firmware images and config files can be stored on the module file system.
NOTE: The Flash File system is used only to store firmware and configuration files. Currently the file
system cannot be used to store data files
WiFly contains a built in FTP client for getting files and updating the firmware. The client uses passive
mode FTP, which allows operation thru firewalls and the Internet.
To update to the latest released firmware from Roving Networks the following setting are required:
FTP username = roving
FTP password = Pass123
FTP filename = wifly-GSX.img
FTP directory = ./public (this parameter cannot be modified)
NOTE: To use FTP to upgrade the firmware, WiFly module has to be associated to an Access Point with
internet connectivity.
To update the firmware, issue the following command:
ftp update <string> (string is an optional filename, use to bypass the default firmware filename)
The ftp update command will retrieve the file and switch the boot image to the new file.
<2.20> ftp update
<2.20> FTP connecting to 208.109.78.34
FTP file=30
