Confirm that the correct file has been selected and then click
Next
again to start the firmware update. The update will take approximately 2
minutes.
Tip:
While the update is in progress, check that the SI LED on the front of the
CPU card(s) is flashing rapidly. Rapid flashes indicate communication with the PC.
Note:
If you are upgrading from v5.2.5 to Eclipse HX v9.1, the download dialog does
not
automatically finish. This is due to a messaging change between the two system
architectures. Instead, close the dialog (which will continue to indicate
Verifying
) when
the matrix reboots (see Step 11).
12)
When the update is completed, click
Finish
in the
Firmware Update
wizard.
The Eclipse HX-Median / Eclipse HX-Omega / Eclipse HX-Delta (matrix) matrix
reboots. The CPU card(s) is reset.
Download a configuration file (apply changes), using EHX.
Note:
The CPU card uses a default configuration that is embedded in the download application
(even though the CPU DOT matrix display shows zero (0)). The default configuration
helps with the initial hardware configuration and testing of the Eclipse HX-Median /
Eclipse HX-Omega / Eclipse HX-Delta matrix by providing usable functionality to each of
the MVX-A16 cards fitted to the matrix.
If the upgrade fails
If the upgrade of both CPU cards fails, repeat the procedure (with only one CPU card in
the matrix) for each card. When the procedure is complete, insert both the CPU cards
into the Eclipse HX-Median / Eclipse HX-Omega / Eclipse HX-Delta matrix.
If there was no previous configuration loaded in the matrix, download a basic
configuration file (apply changes) to the CPU cards using EHX. Make any further
configuration changes over the Ethernet LAN.
Tip:
For more information about setting up a configuration, see the
EHX User Guide

Upgrading the CPU Card app code using Tera Term
To upgrade the CPU card application code using Tera Term:
1)
Ensure that you have the following equipment:
Required equipment
Description / comments
PC with either a serial port
connection or USB-to-serial
port adaptor
If using a USB-to-serial port adaptor cable,
you must connect the cable before starting
EHX to enable EHX to detect the USB port as a
COM port.
