Upgrading E-FIB cards
This chapter describes how to upgrade the E-FIB fiber cards, which are fitted to the
Eclipse HX-Median, Eclipse HX-Omega and Eclipse HX-Delta matrices.
Note:
This guide is laid out in the order in which you must upgrade your Eclipse HX software
and hardware devices. For a quick reference to upgrading your system, see

8.1
Upgrading E-FIB card FPGA with Xilinx tools
If the E-FIB card FPGAs are going to be upgraded in an Eclipse HX-Median / Eclipse HX-
Omega / Eclipse HX-Delta matrix, take one of the following measures:
•
Fit the E-FIB cards to a slot which is
not
configured for it.
•
Manually reset
the E-FIB card for the duration of the upgrade operation.
•
Remove
both
CPU cards from the Eclipse HX-Median / Eclipse HX-Omega / Eclipse HX-
Delta matrix for the duration of the upgrade.
If you do not take one of the above measures then the upgrade may fail.
To upgrade the Xilinx FPGAs (front card and rear card) on an E-FIB card:
1.
Ensure that the latest versions of the Xilinx programming tools have been
installed.
Tip:
For more information about installing Xilinx programming tools, see
2.
Connect the USB connector of the download cable (Platform cable USB DLC9G) to
the USB port of the PC.
3.
Connect the
14way IDC header
to:
•
CON8
on the
front card
, if you are programming both cards simultaneously or just
the front card.
•
CON5
of the
rear card
if you are only programming the rear card.
Note:
The front and rear cards can be upgraded (programmed) either individually or together.
If only the front card is being programmed, fit
LK9
to the front card.
4.
Power up the UUT and start the iMPACT programming tool.
