3 Firmware Update
Firmware can only be updated via a serial connection. Make sure, that the power supply of
the camera and the computer for the update are in a stable state.
You can download the latest updated from our GitLab repository:
https://gitlab.com/dreamchip/provideo-downloads
3.1 Firmware Update via GUI
You can use the ProVideo GUI (see chapter 4) to update your cameras’ firmware. This is
generally a lot easier, but in some cases (e.g. incompatible GUI and firmware) not
possible.
To perform the update simply connect your camera with the included RS485 USB adapter
to your PC, start the ProVideo GUI, go to the Update Tab, choose the Firmware file and
start the update.
3.2 Firmware Update via Script
The update requires a manual adaption of the update script.
3.2.1
Preparation for Update
Open the folder with the firmware update on your PC.
You need to know your COM port of your USB RS485 interface. This can be done by
checking your “Devices and Printers” in your Windows system.
You also need to know your RS485 ID of your ATOM one camera. The default is 1.
Now you must edit the
update_firmware.bat
file and edit the to your settings.
The header of the files looks like this:
@echo off
REM SET YOUR COM PORT TO YOUR RS485 USB COM PORT
set COM_PORT=
COM156
REM SET THE RS485_ID to your ATOM on Camera ID. Default is 1
set RS485_ID=
1
Save your changes.
3.2.2
Update of Firmware
Make sure your
update_firmware.bat
reflects the correct COM port and RS485_ID as
shown in the previous chapter.
Connect the RS485 USB adapter to your PC and to the ATOM one camera.
Power up the camera and wait until its fully started. This takes ~3 seconds until the LED
on the backside is blinking blue.
Now start the
update_firmware.bat
file.
