Upload SCPU/NCPU Firmware

This tutorial shows how to upload SCPU nad NCPU Frimware to Kneron devices in following two ways:

  1. Upload firmware by file path
  2. Upload firmware by binary data

Note 1: Please connect Kneron device and get Device Group before the following tutorial. See the Connect to Kneron device for details.

Note 2: load_firmware_from_file and load_firmware only support Kneron KL520 USB-Boot firmware. If you want to update Kneron KL520/KL720 Flash-Boot firmware, please see the Upgrade AI Device to KDP2 for details.

Upload firmware by file path

Please replace SCPU_FW_PATH, NCPU_FW_PATH by fw_scpu.bin and fw_ncpu.bin path (Please find target device firmware under res/firmware folder) 

SCPU_FW_PATH = 'res/firmware/KL520/fw_scpu.bin'
NCPU_FW_PATH = 'res/firmware/KL520/fw_ncpu.bin'

kp.core.load_firmware_from_file(device_group=device_group,
                                scpu_fw_path=SCPU_FW_PATH,
                                ncpu_fw_path=NCPU_FW_PATH)

Upload firmware by binary data

Please replace SCPU_FW_PATH, NCPU_FW_PATH by fw_scpu.bin and fw_ncpu.bin path (Please find target device firmware under res/firmware folder) 

SCPU_FW_PATH = 'res/firmware/KL520/fw_scpu.bin'
NCPU_FW_PATH = 'res/firmware/KL520/fw_ncpu.bin'

with open(SCPU_FW_PATH, 'rb') as file:
    scpu_fw_buffer = file.read()

with open(NCPU_FW_PATH, 'rb') as file:
    ncpu_fw_buffer = file.read()

kp.core.load_firmware(device_group=device_group,
                      scpu_fw_buffer=scpu_fw_buffer,
                      ncpu_fw_buffer=ncpu_fw_buffer)
