I work with units that have multiple boards inside doing different things. All of these boards at some point have to be flashed or updated (usually with the board manufacturer's proprietary flash software). All of the boards have a dedicated flash port.

Is there a product out there that would allow me to communicate with these boards over tcp/ip? I attached a quick sketch of what I am trying to accomplish.

My goal would be to hook this device up to the network where I would have ready access to it when I need to push the updates out.

 

I would have to wonder what this flash port is before anyone could say with any certainty, but the answer is probably no, unless you build something yourself.

 

First of you have to identify which type communication they are using for flashing?
if it common way then u can search for the multiplexer(imaginary).
Else u have to build one.

 

Thanks for the input.

I ended up accomplishing this with a Raspberry Pi and a software called Serial to Ethernet Connector (http://www.eltima.com/products/serial-over-ethernet/).

I had to get a special file from Eltima for the Raspberry Pi but once I got this, I was able to achieve my goal.

Thanks,

Mike
