Oron Peled 65066704be xpp: clobber fpga_load
* It was replaced long ago by astribank_hexload/astribank_tool/astribank_allow
* It hasn't been used for several releases now, nor updated.
* Time to move into the eternal bit-bucket.
* Left (very) few strings as a tribute...

.B astribank_hexload \-h
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B astribank_hexload
is a second-stage firmware loader for Xorcom Astribanks.
Note that some very old models use fpga_load(8) instead.
This legacy tool hasn't been used for several releases.
It can be found in version 2.6 and below of dahdi-tools.
The astribank_hexload(8) program is used to load a file in the
Intel HEX format into a Xorcom Astribank.
It can be used to load either an FPGA firmware or a PIC
firmware. It is normally run by the script xpp_fxloader.
.SH OPTIONS
.B \-D
.I device-path
.RS
Required. The device to read from/write to. This is
\fIbus_num\fR/\fIdevice_num\fR, where \fIbus_num\fR and \fIdevice_num\fR
are the first two numbers in the output of lsusb(8) or dahdi_hardware(8).
On older versions of this tool you needed a complete path to the device,
which would be /dev/bus/usb/\fIbus_num\fR/\fIdevice_num\fR, or
/proc/bus/usb/\fIbus_num\fR/\fIdevice_num\fR.
.RE
One of the following is required:
.B \-F
.RS
The firmware to load is a FPGA firmware.
.RE
.B \-p
.RS
The firmwares to load is are PIC firmwares. All (typically 4) should be
on the command-line.
.RE
.B \-O
.RS
The firmware to load is an Octasic echo canceller firmware image file.
.RE
.B \-o
.RS
Don't load firmware. Just print the version number of the currently-loaded
Octasic echo canceller firmware.
.RE
.B \-E
.RS
The firmware to load is a special EEPROM burning one.
.RE
Other options:
.B \-v
.RS
Increase verbosity. May be used multiple times.
.RE
.B \-d \fImask\fR
.RS
Set debug mask to \fImask\fR. Default is 0, 0xFF is "everything".
.RE
.B \-h
.RS
Displays usage message.
.RE
.B \-A
.RS
When loading a Octasic echo canceller firmware, set the channels of the
first Astribank module to use aLaw (G.711a). This is what you'd normally
use for BRI and E1. If not set, the default mu-Law (G.711u), which is
what you'd normally use for FXS, FXO and T1.
