Command Line Updater

The dmclu program is used to update the firmware on Datamation devices using the command line.

Manual update mode

In manual update mode, a firmware filename and the serial port the device is attached to are specified. The updater will then send this firmware file to the device.

Syntax

dmclu --fw <filename> --serial <device> [--force]

Parameters

Parameter

Usage

--fw <filename>

Path to a Datamation Universal Firmware file.

--serial <device>

The serial port of the device. This should be specified in the correct format for the platform, e.g. COM3 on Windows or /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux.

--force

Force the device to use the firmware, regardless of what version is already on the device. This allows firmware to be downgraded.

Example

dmclu --fw dm-uf-v1.hex --serial /dev/ttyUSB0
