IA260-261-262 EM-2260 LX User’s Manual Managing Embedded Linux
System Version Information
To determine the hardware capability of your IA260/IA261/IA262/EM-2260, and what kind of
software functions are supported, check the version numbers of your
IA260/IA261/IA262/EM-2260’s kernel, and user file system. Contact Moxa to determine the
hardware version. You will need the Production S/N (Serial number), which is located on the
IA260/IA261/IA262/EM-2260’s bottom label.
To check the kernel version, type:
#kversion
192.168.3.127 – PuTTY
root@Moxa:~# kversion
Version 1.0
root@Moxa:~#
Upgrading the Firmware
The IA260/IA261/IA262/EM-2260’s bios, kernel, and root file system are combined into one
firmware file, which can be downloaded from Moxa’s website (www.moxa.com
). The name of the
file has the form ia260/ia261/ia262/em2260-x.x.x.hfm , with “x.x.x” indicating the firmware
version. To upgrade the firmware, download the firmware file to a PC, and then transfer the file to
the IA260/IA261/IA262/EM-2260 via a Debug Port or Telnet Console connection.
ATTENTION
Upgrading the firmware will erase some data on the Flash ROM
If you are using the ramdisk to store code for your applications, beware that updating the
firmware will erase some of the data on the Flash ROM. We strongly suggest that you should
back up your application files and data before updating the firmware.
