FPGA 051104 (DES) to FPGA 020205 (DES)

Hello All
Can u share to me?
How to change the firmware version from FPGA 051104 (DES) to FPGA 020205 (DES) ?

cause i have a problem,i can change the Scheduling from software Scheduling to Hardware Scheduling?

Because in FPGA version 051104 there is not have that module to change become hardware Scheduling.

can u advice us how to make it become FPGA 020205

thx

Lastmilegear can convert your ap’s to advantage platform. I think it’s $700 a unit

How to change the firmware version from FPGA 051104 (DES) to FPGA 020205 (DES) In AP 2,4Ghz , AP 5,7Ghz and also the SM 2,4Ghz ,SM 5,7Ghz
device,without buy a new device?

Can upgradeable the FPGA 051104 into FPGA 020205 ?

To run in Hardware Scheduling Mode, you need Advantage Access Points. It is not possible to convert non-Advantage Access Points to Advantage.

You do not need to replace your existing Subscriber Modules, they will operate in Hardware Scheduling with software version 7.3.6 or 8.1.4.

Once you upgrade your AP’s to Advantage, you will use the Hardware Scheduling Tool plug in for CNUT to convert existing SM’s to Hardware Scheduling mode.

The good news is that Advantage AP supports:
- Canopy Lite SM (512k burst to 768 - upgradeable through licenses)
- Older Canopy SM (7M sustained aggregate - use CNUT plugin to convert)
- New non-Advantage SM (7M sustained, 2X mode operation - software selectable)
- Advantage SM (14M Aggregate, 2X mode with auto 2X/1X negotiation - software selectable)

i’m already upgrade the software version into 7.3.6 but the FPGA version still FPGA 051104 (DES) , in this FPGA 051104 (DES) version there is not have
hardware scheluding in the AP device or SM device

will us advice me how i can upgrade the FPGA 051104 (DES) into FPGA 020205 (DES),cause in FPGA 020205 (DES) there have a module we can chose for Hardware Scheduling Mode or Software Scheduling Mode.

The example device like this :
Device type : 2.4GHz - Multipoint - Access Point - 0a-00-3e-20-5f-29
Software Version :CANOPY 7.3.6 Oct 24 2005 12:06:56 AP-DES
Software Boot Version :CANOPYBOOT 3.0
FPGA Version :051104 (DES)
Uptime :05:26:04
System Time :07:50:59 01/24/2007
Last NTP Time Update :00:00:00 00/00/0000
Ethernet Interface :10Base-T Half Duplex



In Configuration Mode of AP device which the FPGA version is 051104


==========================================
Device type : 2.4GHz - Multipoint - Access Point - 0a-00-3e-20-5f-29
Software Version :CANOPY 7.3.6 Oct 24 2005 12:06:56 AP-DES
Software Boot Version :CANOPYBOOT 3.0
FPGA Version :020205(DES)
Uptime :05:26:04
System Time :07:50:59 01/24/2007
Last NTP Time Update :00:00:00 00/00/0000
Ethernet Interface :10Base-T Half Duplex


the picture of FPGA 020205 in AP device


i get the sample picture ,i think it easy to see the diffrent of the FPGA Version :051104 (DES) and FPGA Version :020205(DES)

i need all the advice to upgrade the firmware
thx

Telnet into the AP as follows. You are looking for the Hardware Platform.

If it’s a P8 or earlier board, you will definitely not be able to get it to HW scheduling. If it is a P9 board, then there may be way to update the FPGA but I do not know what it is.

This my platform ,which i telnet to my AP’s
so the P8 can not upgradeable to hardware schulding mode anymore ( it’s seem the old board in my AP’s ? )

ok thx a lot for the advice

That would be correct.

I suspect if you look at the AP that you have running in Hardware Scheduling, you will see it’s a P9 board.
