You should see a message like this:
F/W 6010-0071-000 Ver 3.01 - FPGA 6020-0012-000 Ver 01 - JAN 12 15:30:58 2017
or
F/W 6010-0076-000 Ver 3.01 - FPGA 6020-0016-000 Ver 02 - FEB 12 11:59:15 2017
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 EndRun GPS Receiver. If you want to upgrade the
GPS Subsystem see the section above called Performing the GPS Subsystem Upgrade .
NOTE
Before proceeding, use the
rcvrversion
command. You will see a response similar to this:
F/W 6010-0081-000 Ver 1.11 - FPGA 6020-0014-000 Ver 0004 - NOV 28 13:30:20 2016
or
rcvrversion: command not found
If the command is not found then your Sonoma does not have an EndRun GPS Receiver. No firmware
upgrade is possible. Otherwise, you do have an EndRun GPS Receiver and you may upgrade the firmware
following the instructions below.
For information on EndRun GPS Receiver, see
Chapter 1 - Introduction, GPS Receivers
.
First you need to download the EndRun GPS Receiver firmware from the EndRun website to a place
on your network which is accessible to the Sonoma. The link to the Sonoma upgrade page is shown
above.
You may transfer the file to your Sonoma 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 Sonoma: /tmp/rcvr.bin . The EndRun GPS Receiver image will be named
with the software part number and version like:
6010-0081-000_1.04.bin
. When following the in-
structions below, substitute the name of the actual EndRun GPS Receiver image that you are install-
ing for
6010-0081-000_1.04.bin
. You will be transferring the file to a temporary file,
/tmp/rcvr.bin
on
your Sonoma.
