If any error occurs, do not proceed with the firmware upgrade. If you
cannot resolve the issues, contact the manufacturer. Note that even if
the verification fails and the flash loader on the device remains active,
it is safe to power the device off to restart it. However, a safer and
more comfortable alternative is to execute the following command:
FlashLoader 6 -$ -i -f
This prevents the utility on the host computer from initializing the flash
loader utility on the microcontroller and sends the reset command to
the device.
!
Attention:
If the flash loader on the device is still active and you do
not specify the command line parameter
-i
, the programming utility
sends data to the device at a wrong data rate during initialization. This
data stream cannot be received properly, the device ends up in an
undefined state and does not respond anymore. It must be powered
off and on to restart the controller. Since there is no other way to stop
the flash loader on the device and resume normal operation, be sure
to exactly follow the instructions in this section.
If the verification has succeeded, you may start the firmware upgrade
by entering the command:
FlashLoader 6 Firmware.txt -$
The parameter
Firmware.txt
is the file with the new firmware. The
program should produce the following output:
Code file Firmware.txt from 06/18/2021, 12:00:00
Flash Loader 2.00
Programming code file Firmware.txt

Program completed successfully
For the programming procedure, a flash loader utility on the device is
activated as well. When the programming is completed, the device is
restarted with the new firmware. You can recognize this by the startup
sequence of the LED on the front panel of the device.
If an error occurs, the flash loader utility on the microcontroller may
remain active. This is the case if the device did not restart. In this
