- The software to be downloaded is available on a Windows PC on which LoLa is installed together with
BOOTP and TFTP server preconfigured for OXO CPUs and OXO Connect Evolution.
- The installation ramdisk, being uploaded by the TFTP server to the CPU, execute a script file that prepares
the board to communicate with LoLa and retrieve the OXO files to be loaded in the CPU flash.
- File transfer is done thanks to SAMBA mounting.
What changes
Starting with Windows 10 build 1709 update, the SMBv1 protocol is disabled by default in Windows for
security reason and it is no longer possible to load a CPU with LoLa, unless SMBv1 protocol is temporarily
reactivated.
Solution
Starting with the LoLa version 400/23.1, file transfer will be done using NFS protocol instead of SMBv1.
Note Transition to NFS protocol requires a modification of the LoLa tool and also an adaptation in the OXO
software to modify the installation ramdisk.
This implies that:
1. Lola 400/24.1 only works with the new OXO system versions using NFS protocol (see compatibility
table).
2. For the maintenance of installed base with old system release, it is mandatory to use previous
LoLa 400/21.2 and enable temporarily the SMBv1 protocol on the PC.
Compatibility
2.1 Installation
Lola application
LoLa 400/24.1 is installed and used in the same way as previous versions - there is no difference.
Reminder:
- LoLa installation: run the setup.exe installation with administrator right,
- modify the program shortcut privilege level to always "Run as an administrator".
External component
When both versions 21.2 & 24.1 are installed on a PC, LoLa applications uses the same BOOTP and TFTP
server.
The BOOTP server does not contain any specific configuration related to LoLa application version.
It's no longer required to manage the TFTP server default directory, this field dis automatically
configured with the directory path corresponding to the running LoLa version (24.1 or 21.2).
The TFTP server contains the path to installation ramdisk files, this field is automatically populated during
the installation, example after Lola 400/23.1 installation:
- start LoLa select the Lola version according to OXO release to upload
- fill in the different parameters: software - country - licenses etc ...
When the installation ramdisk, file sharing, etc ... process are finished and the BOOTP and TFTP servers
started, check that TFTP server default directory belongs to the LoLa version used.
Example:
- the last CPU load was done with version 24.1; for a maintenance operation, you must reload a CPU in R8.2,
it is necessary to use LoLa 21.1
- when all components have been started with LoLa, select the TFTP server and change the default
directory:
To be able to load an old OXO version with Lola 21.2 we must temporarily enable the protocol:
- access to the Windows configuration menu - Program and Features – Turn Windows Features on or off and
enable " SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support ".
- restart the PC to take the modification into account
4 Miscellaneous
LoLa version
- If old Lola versions are installed on the PC, uninstall the old version(s) first and then install version
400/21.2 and 24.1
- Do not use LoLa 400/ 21.2 or 24.1 with an older LoLa version.
- It is not possible to run both LoLa version 21.2 and 24.1 at the same time.
