Upgrading
From D20M or
1 MB Flash
D20 ME?
Code files for previous D20M modules are created in a
binary
format, usually
called
PROM.BIN
files.
•
If you are upgrading a device running a D20M to use a D20 ME, you must
convert the binary code file to a
down.shx
format before you can download it to
Flash memory.
•
You must also use Config Pro to adjust the device’s
Device Properties
so that
the new processor will run the converted code file.
If you are upgrading from a D20 ME with 1 MB Flash (Part # 526-2003), you
must modify the
Device Properties
of the new configuration in ConfigPro to
use the existing code file.
For more information on upgrading from earlier versions, refer to the
D20
ME Processor Module Installation and Operations Guide
