Step 6.
Browse for the new firmware(s)
Click the corresponding cell in the “Browse New Firmware” column. A dialog pops
up, to confirm if you really want to modify the path. Now you can browse for the
new firmware file to upload. After opening the new file, the new firmware field will
contain the name of the firmware file.
Step 7.
Upgrade firmware(s)
Click “UPGRADE SELECTED FIRMWARES” button. A confirmation message
appears. After clicking
the “YES” button the selected controllers are being
reprogrammed
, with the firmware you selected. If you select a file that doesn‟t fit for
the selected controller, you will get an information message about which file is
wrong. If you selected a controller to upgrade, but you had not selected a file for it,
then you will also get an information message about which file is missing.
Quick Bootload
mode can be switched on or off any time. It makes the bootloader
software faster by only checking the checksum of the controller. No data
verification is done after writing if the checksum was correct.
Info:
The reprogramming can take between 3-8 minutes per controller.
A progress bar will show the current state of the reprogramming. An erasing
process will take place first, and then the programming is done, so the progress
bar runs up twice.
