USB image download

Colibri PXAxxx​

Bootloader version 3.2 beta 2 and onwards support the download of an image file over USB RNDIS.

This feature is not available on the Colibri PXA310.

Colibri Txx​

All Colibri Tegra modules support the USB RNDIS download.

How To​

To use this feature you have to do the following steps:

  • Set download type to USBC
    Type in the Bootloader command prompt:
set boot.dltype=1
save boot
set ip.ip = IPADDRESS
set ip.subnet = SUBNETMASK
set ip.dhcp = 0
save ip

Make sure that you choose an address in another subnet than your normal one.

  • Connect the USB Cable between the Colibri and the PC
  • Restart the Colibri Module
  • Go in download mode (Choose "D" or "F" in the Bootloader menu)

On the PC​

  • When you set the Colibri in the download mode, your PC will detect a new device. Now you can install the driver.
  • 32 bit Windows: Download the RNDIS driver from the Colibri Loader download page and install it.
  • 64 bit Windows: 64 bit Windows 7 comes with a RNDIS driver but can not install it automatically. See this page for an installation guide.
  • For the new network adapter, set a static IP in the same subnet as the Colibri
  • Start the Colibri Loader
  • Do a normal Ethernet download. (In case if Colibri stopped to send BOOTME messages, you have to restart it and set it in the download mode again)
  • Ensure that your firewall is not blocking the communication
