Appendix C - Updating Firmware
The various components of the Binloop are all capable of
accepting firmware updates. The following guides will instruct
you on how to update the firmware of each component.
Reproducer Card Firmware
The ReproHD High-Definition Video Reproducers within the
Binloop can be updated by copying a firmware update file to a
Compact Flash card and inserting that card into the
Reproducer’s CF socket. These step-by-step instructions will
walk you through this process:
1. Download the latest firmware for the ReproHD from:
http://www.alcorn.com/support/firmware.html
2. Extract the zipped firmware update file to your PC.
3. Power down the Binloop, and remove the Compact
Flash card from the reproducer you wish to update.
4. Copy the OS.NEW file from the downloaded update to
the Compact Flash Card using a card reader.
5. Re-insert the Compact Flash Card into the Reproducer.
6. Power on the Binloop.
7. The reproducer’s status LED will turn ORANGE to
indicate that it is updating the firmware.
8. Wait for LED to turn off, indicating that the firmware
update is complete.
9. When you reach this point, you’re done. The OS.NEW
file will be renamed to OS.SAV to flag the successful
operation.
10. Use the Version command to verify that the
Reproducer’s firmware has actually been updated to
match the version on the website.
11. Repeat this process for each reproducer.
NOTE: If multiple updates are to be performed, you can rename
OS.NEW to FACTORY.NEW . This causes the update to occur without
the file name changing to OS.SAV after the update is complete. This
allows you to update an entire cage of reproducer cards with a single
Compact Flash card containing the
FACTORY.NEW file.
