7.5.1. Using the RSU Client to Perform Basic Operations

This section demonstrates how to use the RSU client to perform the following basic operations:
  • Querying the RSU status.
  • Querying the number of slots and the information about them.
  • Adding a new application image.
  • Verifying that the application image was written correctly.
  • Requesting a specific application image to be loaded.
Note: This section assumes that the flash contains the initial RSU image. If that is not true, you need to re-flash the initial image, as shown in the Flashing the Initial RSU Image to QSPI section.
  1. Power cycle the board and let Linux* boot.
  2. Log in using ‘root’ as user name, no password is required.
  3. Run the rsu_client without parameters, to display its help message: 
    root@linux:~# ./rsu_client

  4. Exercise the rsu_client command that displays the current status, it shows the application image from slot 0 (partition P1) is loaded with no errors: 
    root@linux:~# ./rsu_client --log
      VERSION: 0x00000202
        STATE: 0x00000000
CURRENT IMAGE: 0x0000000001000000
   FAIL IMAGE: 0x0000000000000000
    ERROR LOC: 0x00000000
ERROR DETAILS: 0x00000000
RETRY COUNTER: 0x00000000
Operation completed
  5. Run the RSU client commands that display information about the slots: 
    root@linux:~# ./rsu_client --count
number of slots is 3
Operation completed
root@linux:~# ./rsu_client --list 0
      NAME: P1
    OFFSET: 0x0000000001000000
      SIZE: 0x01000000
  PRIORITY: 1
Operation completed
root@linux:~# ./rsu_client --list 1
      NAME: P2
    OFFSET: 0x0000000002000000
