Model 5010 Time Code Master Manual
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Revision 3.1.1
Page
6-9
If you connected the computer using COM2 you will need to use an additional command line
parameter to specify the COM port as follows:
FL AG57A1.HEX /p2
If you set up the 5010 for programming at 9600 baud you will need to use an additional
command line parameter to specify the baud rate as follows:
FL AG57A1.HEX /b9600
Entering the FL with no file name will generate a usage message to show you all the
available options for the Flash Loader program.
6.
The Flash Loader will announce that it is erasing the FLASH PROM. The 5010 front panel
display will show
FLASH ERASING...
7.
When the Flash PROM is erased, the Flash loader will start to send the new firmware to the
5010. The Flash loader will give a status report as it sends each line of the HEX file to the
5010. During programming, the 5010 front panel display will show
LOADING - XXXXX
.
The XXXXX will be the actual PROM address currently being programmed.
8.
If there are programming errors an appropriate message will be shown on the 5010 front
panel. You will need to abort the Flash loader program by pressing the ALT+x keys on your
computer keyboard. (Hold the ALT key down while pressing the x key.) Repeat steps 3 to 6
to try to correct the problem. If you still have trouble, try programming at 9600 baud.
9.
The reprogramming will be complete when the Flash Loader announces "Hex file
transmitted successfully" and returns you to the DOS prompt. The 5010 will automatically
switch to its FLASH program memory if programming is successful. As a part of the 5010
boot-up cycle it will say
SWITCH TO FLASH
to indicate that it is running on the FLASH
EPROM now.
