message while it is performing the transfer. After it completes, wait about 40 seconds and issue this
command to check the GPS Subsystem version:
gpsversion
You should see a message like this:
F/W 6010-0076-000 Ver 3.01 - FPGA 6020-0016-000 Ver 01 - JAN 12 15:30:58 2013
The firmware version should match that of the binary file that you uploaded.
Problems with the GPS Subsystem Upgrade
Should you have difficulties with the upgrade due to a corrupt file, power failure during upload, or
other accident, do not be alarmed. Even though you may have lost the existing application program,
the GPS Subsystem bootloader program will remain intact. Correct any problem with the binary file
and retry the upload procedure. If you are still unable to successfully perform the GPS Subsystem
upgrade, you should contact Customer Support at EndRun Technologies.
Performing the GPS Receiver Upgrade
This section has instructions for upgrading the GPS Receiver. If you want to upgrade the GPS Sub-
system see the section above called Performing the GPS Subsystem Upgrade .
First you need to download the GPS Receiver firmware from the EndRun website to a place on your
network which is accessible to the Meridian II. The link to the Meridian II upgrade page is shown
above.
You may transfer the file to your Meridian II using either
ftp
or
scp
. If you are using
ftp
to
perform the upgrade, transfer the previously downloaded file using binary transfer mode from the
remote host to this specific file on your Meridian II: /tmp/rcvr.bin . The GPS Receiver image will be
named with the software part number and version like: 6010-0081-000_1.04.bin . When following
the instructions below, substitute the name of the actual GPS Receiver image that you are installing
for 6010-0081-000_1.04.bin . You will be transferring the file to a temporary file, /tmp/rcvr.bin on
your Meridian II.
ftp remote_host
{
perform ftp login on remote host
}
bin
{set transfer mode to binary}
get 6010-0081-000_1.04.bin /tmp/rcvr.bin
{transfer the file}
quit
{ close the ftp session after the transfer }
If you are using SSH to perform the GPS Receiver upgrade, you may open another command window
on the remote computer and securely transfer the GPS Receiver image to /tmp/rcvr.bin using
scp
from the remote computer. A command like this could be used:
scp –p 6010-0081-000_1.04.bin root@host.your.domain:/tmp/rcvr.bin
Now issue the following command to the Meridian II console to initiate the upload:
