Boot Mode

The NeuralPlex offers two different boot modes. Normal Mode and Recovery Mode. Recovery mode is a minimal image meant to allow major in-field updates to the rootfs or bootloader partitions of the flash. Recovery Mode allows you to reflash the entire rootfs partition, resize, or reconfigure the parition.

Changing Boot Mode

Booting into Recovery Mode can be achieved by setting a u-boot environment variable:

Change Boot Mode

root@neuralplex:~# fw_setenv bootmode recovery
root@neuralplex:~# reboot

Danger

Some configurations such as network configs may be different in Recovery Mode. Before rebooting into Recovery Mode make sure that you have a method of gaining access to the console in Recovery Mode.

If you wish to change any configurations before booting into Recovery Mode, the rootfs for this paration is mounted at: /diag.
