7.3.1.  Downloading Upgrade Files 

1.  Download the boot loader “7800FC  Boot Loader”, upgrade program “7800FC  Upgrade” and the 

image file ”7800FC  Image File” from the web site (

www.evertz.com

  –  Downloads > Firmware 

Downloads link > Type “7800FC” in the Model search and press “Go”.). Save the files to the hard 
drive. 
 

2.  Unzip the downloaded files and store them in a selected sub-directory. Record the location of the 

stored files. 

 

7.3.2.  Linking the Frame Controller to the Network Adapter 

Connect a “straight-thru” Cat5 Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors, between the PC’s network Ethernet 
card  and a network hub; and a second “straight-thru” Cat5 Ethernet  cable between the hub and the rear 
plate of the 7800FC  VistaLINK

®

  Frame Controller.  A “cross-over” cable directly connecting the PC’s 

Ethernet adapter to the 7800FC  Frame Controller’s rear plate can be substituted for the two straight-thru 
Ethernet cables and hub. (See section 2.3.1) 
 

7.3.3.  Connecting the Computer to the Card Edge Serial Port 

Refer to section 2.3.2  for instructions on connecting the computer to the card edge serial port and 
configuring the terminal software. 
 

7.3.4.  Setting the 7800FC Frame Controller to Upgrade Mode 

The 

UPGRADE

  jumper J9  located at the front of the module is used when “image” upgrades are  being 

done to the 7800FC Frame Controller module.  For normal operation the jumper is set in the 

RUN

 position. 

To upgrade the firmware in the module unit pull it out of the frame.  Move Jumper J4 into the 

UPGRADE 

position. See Figure 5-1 for jumper locations on the 7800FC Frame Controller card. 
 

7.3.5.  Viewing Startup Information 

•

  Once HyperTerminal is connected, insert the 7800FC VistaLINK

®

 Frame Controller into its slot. 

•

  7800FC booting information will then be sent to the HyperTerminal window.  After the card powers 

up the “upload” message is displayed.  

 
For example: 

 

Evertz NAND PPCBoot et.816 
 
 
Evertz PPCBoot 2.3 et.816 
8313e rev. 2.2, e300c3 rev. 1.0, 167 MHz bus, 333 MHz core 
link up, 1000 Mbit/s, duplex 
COULD NOT OPEN FILE 
COMMAND upgrade FAILED -1 
PPCBOOT>

 

 

 

If you do not see the boot up messages check to make sure you have the correct 
COM Port specified in HyperTerminal, and the status bar at the bottom of the 
HyperTerminal screen shows that it is connected.
