SM8G-B Bootloader Swap

An SM8G-B card running on a BLMCAP version from a release prior to EAGLE 46.3 may contain the 32-bit mode only bootloader. This bootloader must be updated before converting to 64-bit mode. The following procedure is used to update the 32-bit mode bootloader to 64-bit. Skip this procedure if the card is already running the BLDC64 GPL.

  1. Inhibit the target card with the inh-card:loc=<card_loc>:force=yes.
    The card will boot and return to state OOS-MT-DSBLD within 60 seconds.
  2. Flash the card with the init-flash:loc=<card_loc>:code=appr:gpl=blmcap command.
    After the flashing operations complete, the card will boot and return to state OOS-MT-DSBLD.
  3. Activate the new BLMCAP GPL with the act-flash:loc=<card_loc> command.
  4. Replace the card's bootloader with the init-flash:loc=xxxx:mode=rplcebl:bits=64 command.
    If the card was already running with the desired bootloader, the command does nothing.
