UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE
4.2.1. Overview
The firmware in the HD9010TM is contained on a FLASH EPROM. From time to time firmware updates
will be provided to add additional features to the unit. There are two different versions of hardware that may
be installed in the HD9010TM. The
HARDWARE VERSION
menu item will tell you whether you have Rev
1 (7700PB3) or Rev 2 (7700PH4) hardware installed. The baud rate for upgrading firmware is set
differently for the different revisions of the hardware.
You will need the following equipment in order to update the Firmware:
•
PC with available communications port. The communication speed is 57600 or 115200 baud,
therefore a 486 PC or better with a 16550 UART based communications port is recommended.
•
“Straight-thru” serial extension cable (DB9 female to DB9 male) or (DB25 female to DB9 male).
•
Terminal program that is capable of Xmodem file transfer protocol. (such as HyperTerminal)
•
New firmware supplied by Evertz.
