TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Power Cycle Upgrade Procedure
Apply power to the HD9084. During power up, a banner with the boot code version information should
appear in the terminal window. The cursor to the right of the word “BOOT>” should be spinning for
about 5 seconds then the unit will continue to boot.
1. While the cursor is spinning, press the <CTRL> and <X> keys on your computer keyboard
simultaneously which will stop the cursor from spinning. The spinning prompt will only remain for
about 5 seconds. You must press <CTRL-X> during this 5 second delay. If the unit continues to
boot-up, cycle the power off, then on, and repeat this step again.
2. Hit the <ENTER> key on your computer once.
3. Type the word “upgrade”, without quotes, next to the BOOT> prompt, and hit the <ENTER> key
again.
4. The boot code will ask for confirmation of upgrade. Type "y" without quotes.
5. You should now see a prompt asking you to upload the file.
5.2.4.
PART 4: Uploading the New Firmware
Upload the “.bin” file supplied from Evertz using the X-Modem transfer protocol of your terminal
program. If you do not start the upload within 10 minutes the HD9084 Boot code will time out.
Note: Use only the Xmodem transfer protocol. Other protocols, such as X-
modem-CRC or X-modem 1K, will not work.
The boot code will indicate that the operation was successful upon completion of the upload.
The following is a list of possible reasons for a failed upload:
1. The supplied “*.bin” file is corrupt.
2. Wrong file specified to be uploaded.
3. The PCs’ RS-232 communications port cannot handle a port speed of 57600.
4. Noise induced into the HD9084 Serial Upgrade cable.
5. Defective HD9084 Serial Upgrade cable.
6. Improper port settings in the terminal program or HD9084.
