Upgrading Module Firmware
Firmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to
install newer versions of software on 6800
+
modules. Pilot, Co-Pilot, or
Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later is required for this procedure.
The frame must contain or be 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 intended module.
In the unlikely event that 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 .
