CAENUpgrader
CAENUpgrader
is a free software composed of command line tools together with a Java Graphical User Interface.
Specifically for the DT5730/DT5725,
CAENUpgrader allows in few easy steps to:
•
Upload different firmware versions on the board
•
Select which copy of the stored firmware must be loaded at power-on
•
Read the firmware release of the board and the bridge (when used)
•
Manage the firmware license, in case of pay firmware
•
Upgrade the internal PLL
•
Get the Board Info file, useful in case of support
CAENUpgrader can operate with Windows and Linux, 32 and 64-bit OSs.
The program relies on the CAENComm and CAENVMELib libraries (see §
10
) and requires third-party Java SE6 (or later)
to be installed.
Note:
Windows version of CAENUpgrader is stand-alone (the required libraries are installed locally with the program),
while the version for Linux needs the required libraries to be previously installed by the user.
