.SH DESCRIPTION
.B astribank_hexload
is a second-stage firmware loader for Xorcom Astribanks. Note that some 
older models use fpga_load(8) instead.

It is used to load a file in the Intel HEX format into a Xorcom
Astribank. It can be used to load either an FPGA firmware or a PIC
firmware. It is normally run by the script xpp_fxloader.

.SH OPTIONS
.B \-D 
.I device-path
.RS
Required. The device to read from/write to. This is
\fIbus_num\fR/\fIdevice_num\fR, where \fIbus_num\fR and \fIdevice_num\fR
are the first two numbers in the output of lsusb(8) or dahdi_hardware(8).
On older versions of this toolyou needed a complete path to the device,
which would be /dev/bus/usb/\fIbus_num\fR/\fIdevice_num\fR, or
/proc/bus/usb/\fIbus_num\fR/\fIdevice_num\fR.
