Instructions to Flash Update EVOLUTION Firmware  

After Revision V119K2 

 

 

The Evolution firmware after revision V119K2 provides many upgrades that have 
enhanced the functionality and versatility of the Evolution Vendor.  More notable 
additions include the ability to:

 

 

  Load a machine configuration from a Micro SD card 

  Save a machine configuration to a Micro SD card 

  Load new Firmware from a Micro SD card 

  Save DEX sales data to a Micro SD card 

 
If the user selects “Load New Firmware”, the firmware will automatically save a 
copy of the existing programming configuration before starting the firmware 
upgrade.  Once the firmware upgrade is complete, the new firmware will 
automatically look to see if a programming configuration had been saved and will 
restore that configuration into its operational memory.

 

 

If it is necessary to save a bin configuration or DEX data to a Micro SD card, the 
naming convention used is similar to that popularly used in cell phone technology 
for texting and saving phone numbers: 
 
Fig. 12  Phone Dial Pad 
 

 

International Standard 

 

ABC 

DEF 

GHI 

JKL 

MNO 

PQRS 

TUV 

WXYZ 

 

 
To name a configuration, “BINS”: 
 
Press the number 2 twice = B 
Press the number 4 three times = I 
Press the number 6 twice = N 
Press the number 7 four times = S 
 
If you make a mistake, use the * key to scroll backwards and clear an entry. 
 
Although DEX sales data remains untouched throughout the program upgrade 
process, the user should manually save a copy of DEX sales data to the Micro 
SD card before upgrading the firmware.
