  3. Linux: Setting a static IP address in Ubuntu 18.04 desktop
Sending Firmware via TFTP
  1. Download the firmware file you wish to flash
  2. Launch a command prompt/terminal, and enter the following, one line at a time:
tftp

tftp> connect <device_ip>
tftp> binary
tftp> rexmt 1
tftp> timeout 60
tftp> put <firmware_filename>
Sent x bytes in x seconds


Additional parameters may be passed to customize the instructions: 

{{Template:TFTP Flashing Steps
|factory_reset_steps=
# Power off the device
# Use a paper clip to hold in the reset button
# Plug in the device
# Continue holding the reset button until the LED flashes
|firmware_link=[https://example.com/12345.bin firmware file]
|firmware_filename=firmware.bin
|firmware_renamed=yes
|device_ip=192.168.1.20
|user_ip=192.168.1.25/24
}}


Enter TFTP Mode
  1. Power off the device
  2. Use a paper clip to hold in the reset button
  3. Plug in the device
