Upgrading the Eclipse HX-PiCo app code using EHX with
serial link
You can upgrade the Eclipse HX-PiCo application code using EHX with a serial link,
whether or not there is a valid configuration (map) on the matrix. With EHX, it is
possible to perform the initial upgrade using a serial connection, then move to an
Ethernet connection for future configuration downloads and upgrades, once an IP
address has been configured.
Note:
Before you use this procedure, check that the matrix event log can connect serially to an
Eclipse HX-PiCo with a configuration.
To upgrade the application code with EHX, using a serial link:
1)
Ensure that you have the following equipment:
Required equipment
Description / comments
PC with either a serial port
connection or USB-to-serial

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.
RS232 serial cable
Use an RS232 cable with DB9 to 3.5mm jack
connectors (a CellCom / FreeSpeak /
FreeSpeak II (FSBP) registration cable
(PD4007Z)).
EHX installation
EHX must be configured and operational.
An EHX configuration file
(*.hxn or *.ccn)
The configuration file must have the

data file on the
software USB at:
Software USB > SOFTWARE - EHX.xxx >
SOFTWARE - EHX.xxx > Eclipse HX-PiCo
> xxxxxx
–
Application Code
(where
