For example, to unload the UART driver, type the following command:

/>rmmod mxser

For the UC-7110, the factory default is to load the UART driver “mxser.ko”. The additional driver

module to control the SD/MMC memory card is loaded for the UC-7112. Please see the

information below for the locations and file names of these driver modules.

UART:

/lib/modules/2.6.9-MoXaRt/kernel/drivers/char/mxser.ko

SD/MMC:

/lib/modules/2.6.19-uc1MoXaRt/kernel/drivers/mmc/core/mmc_core.ko

/lib/modules/2.6.19-uc1MoXaRt/kernel/drivers/mmc/card/mmc_block.ko

/lib/modules/2.6.19-uc1MoXaRt/kernel/drivers/mmc/host/moxasd.ko

Upgrading the Kernel

The UC-7101/7110/7112 kernel is uc7110-3.x..bin (uc7112-1.x.bin for UC-7112), which can be

downloaded from www.moxa.com

. You must first download this file to your PC, and then use the

Console Terminal or Telnet Console to copy the file to the UC-7101/7110/7112.

You can save this file to the UC-7101/7110/7112’s RAM disk, and then upgrade the kernel. The

following is a step-by-step example.

To enable the RAM disk, use the following command:

/>upramdisk

After executing “upramdisk”, you may use “mount” to find out if the new ramdisk has been

created successfully:

To navigate to the device node, use the following command:

/>cd ramdisk

Use the built-in FTP client to download the uc7110-3.x.bin file from the PC.

/ramdisk>ftp <destination PC’s IP>

ftp> bin

ftp> get uc7110-3.x.bin
