TcpUpdate is a utility similar to AutoUpdate, but uses TCP instead of UDP to download a new application image to your AM360 device. The most common reason to use TcpUpdate is if you need to update a AM360 device behind a firewall or NAT router.
TcpUpdate is commonly used for:
- Updating the application over the Internet, or when your AM360 device is behind a firewall or NAT router. Requires access to port 20034.
TcpUpdate can be started from:
- By launching the TcpUpdate GUI application.
- From a command line.
TcpUpdate Cannot Reprogram Your AM360 Device
If TcpUpdate cannot reprogram or connect to your device:
- A firewall on your PC may blocking network port number 20034. Try temporarily disabling your firewall to see if this is the cause.
- The AM360 device is behind a firewall or NAT router and is blocking network port number 20034. You may need to add a rule to the firewall, port forwarding to the NAT router, or both.
- The application in your device is not running. This can happen if you download an application that is crashing. Network communication is only possible if you have a running application. To recover from this situation use MTTTY and download a working application through the serial port using the “FLA” command.
Using TcpUpdate
- Start TcpUpdate.
- Enter the IP address of your AM360 device. Note that the “Find” feature will only work for devices on the same LAN.
- Click on the “Browse” button and select the application image, which must end in “_APP .s19”.
- Verify the “Reboot when complete” checkbox is checked.
- Click on the “Update” button to execute the update.
