Upgrading CPU Card U1 CPLD
The U51 image that was embedded in the CPU card firmware image prior to v8.8 (for
upgrade purposes) had to be removed. However, the U51 image specified in in the 9.0
firmware release note still needs to be installed on the CPU card to run the 9.0
application.
Note:
If the CPU card supports the embedded (DIP switch based) upgrade (see below) and U51
needs upgrading, then temporarily install the following CPU application found on the
software release USB and follow the steps below for the duration of the CPLD upgrade.
Note:
This also applies to the U53 CPLD upgrade.
The CPLD upgrader CPU card image can be found next to the official fully featured CPU

firmware has been loaded into the card.
The U51 firmware image is embedded in the CPLD upgrader CPU card firmware image
and therefore no additional download from EHX is required.
Note: Upgrade one CPU card at a time and verify correct functionality of the card after
the upgrade before upgrading the second card.
Note:
Power must not be lost to the CPU card during the upgrade of the U1 CPLD. The duration
of the device load is approximately 5 seconds, but this will only commence a number of
seconds after the card has been booted. If power is lost during the U1 CPLD upgrade the
Xilinx tools method of upgrade will be required to recover the card. Until this is done the
