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.
You can use either the Discovery or the drag-and-drop method. 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 Upgrading Procedure”
on page 18 .
Upgrading the Firmware
There are two methods for upgrading the firmware:
•
“Upgrading the Firmware Using the Discovery Method” on
page 15
• “Upgrading Firmware Using the Drag-and-Drop Method” on
page 17
Upgrading the Firmware Using the Discovery Method
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware using the discovery method:
1. Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our
Web site or from your CD-ROM.
2. If the affected module has not been discovered, perform the
Discovery operation, as described in your CCS software application
manual or online help. (If you cannot discover the device, see
“Upgrading Firmware Using the Drag-and-Drop Method” on
page 17
.)
3. From the Tools menu, select Software Upgrade .
