octoclock_firmware_burner(1)

📦 version 4.1.0.5, in ubuntu jammy

✨ NAME ✨

octoclock_firmware_burner — bestie, it's literally the OctoClock Firmware Burner 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: you've got an Ettus Research OctoClock device sitting there, and it needs new firmware. This little program does exactly that — it burns firmware images onto your OctoClock over Ethernet. No cables, no drama, just vibes through the network port. 🌈

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

octoclock_firmware_burner [OPTIONS]

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

Quick heads-up before we get into it, straight from the source: this program works best when only an IP address is specified. That's the main character move. ✨

  • --addr="Address" — the device IP address. That's your OctoClock's address on the network, the whole point of the operation 🫶
  • --help — prints this help information. It's giving "I just want to know what's going on" and honestly, valid 👑
  • --fw-path="filepath" — custom firmware filepath. Use this when you're not using the default image and you've got your own file to flash. Very DIY, very iconic 🎀
  • --list — lists all OctoClock devices without burning anything. Just a little window shopping, no commitment, no firmware harmed. 💀

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

🧚 Selecting a custom firmware path

When you want to roll with your own image instead of whatever the default is, it looks like this:

octoclock_firmware_burner --addr=192.168.10.3 --fw-path=~/custom_octoclock_image.bin

Point it at the device at 192.168.10.3, hand it your custom .bin from your home directory, and let it cook. 🔥
