Upgrading the Firmware
Impinj R700 RAIN RFID Reader provides three methods for upgrading:
1. Using RShell, the command line interface.
2. Copying the firmware to a USB memory drive and plugging it into the Reader’s host port.
3. Using the Impinj R700 RAIN RFID Reader Management web page.
Upgrading the Firmware by Using RShell
Use this procedure to use RShell to upgrade the firmware:
1. Obtain the firmware upgrade file from the Impinj support Web site,
support.impinj.com. The upgrade file extension is .upg. (Example: octane_4_12_0.upg).
2. Place the upgrade file on a server (http, tftp, or ftp) that is accessible by the Reader
you are upgrading.
3. Using the Putty application, connect to the Reader using by telnet, SSH, or serial, and
then log in.
4. From the RShell command prompt, issue the following command:
> config image upgrade <URI>
where <URI> is the server location and the name of the upgrade file.
For example:
> config image upgrade http://usacorp/rfid/reader/image/octane\_4\_10\_0.upg
> config image upgrade ftp://anonymous:abc@myserver/ftpdirecotry/octane\_4\_10\_0.upg.upg
> tftp://server/octane\_4\_10\_0.upg
5. After you start the upgrade, view the upgrade status at any time by issuing the
following command:
> show image summary
6. This command provides a display of the current upgrade status, the last operation, the
status of the last operation, and information about the primary and secondary images.
Reissue the show image summary command if you want to track the upgrade status.
Some status values you might see are:
WaitingForImageFileTransfer
WaitingForCommitImage
