Upgrading HMX6801
+
Firmware
Firmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to
install newer versions of software on a HMX6801
+
module. The
HMX6801
+
module can be upgraded in Boot Loader mode only. CCS
Pilot, Co-Pilot, or Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later is required
for this procedure. The HMX6801
+
must be installed in a frame that
contains or is connected to another frame that contains an ICE6800
+
module.
When performing the upgrading procedure, check the appropriate
readme file to confirm which files are needed. Use care to ensure that
you upload the correct files to the HMX6801
+
module.
If for some reason the upgrade fails, the module may not respond to
controls and will appear to be non-functional. In that event, follow the
procedures described in
“Correcting a Failed Upgrade Procedure” on
page 20 .
Follow these steps to upgrade a HMX6801
+
module’s firmware:
1. Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our
Web site or from your CD-ROM.
2. Remove the HMX6801
+
