RAP-B511 series

– User's Manual

107

Applied firmware package: v1.1.0b3b3 | LDC software: v2.5.1b5

ATTENTION!

While the firmware is being upgraded, the normal operation mode is suspended as the

device is switched to bootload mode. The firmware upgrade process has an effect on the configuration

and the settings of the device.

8.1.

Introduction

Lightware Device Updater v2 (LDU2) software is the second generation of the LFP-

based (Lightware Firmware Package) firmware upgrade process.

DIFFERENCE:

This software can be used for uploading the packages with LFP2

extension only. LDU2 is not suitable for using LFP files, please use the LDU

software for that firmware upgrade.

8.2.

Preparation

Most Lightware devices can be controlled over more interfaces (e.g. Ethernet, USB, RS-232). But the firmware

can be upgraded usually over one dedicated interface, which is the Ethernet in most cases.

If you want to upgrade the firmware of one or more devices you need the following:

▪

LFP2 file

▪

LDU2 software

installed on your PC or Mac.

Both can be downloaded from

www.lightware.com/downloads

Optionally, you can download the

release notes

file in HTML format.

8.2.1.

About the Firmware Package (LFP2 File)

All the necessary tools and binary files are packed into the LFP2 package file. You need only this file to do

the upgrade on your device.

▪

This allows the use of the same LFP2 package for different devices.

▪

The package contains all the necessary components, binary, and other files.

▪

The release notes is included in the LFP2 file which is displayed in the window where you select the
firmware package file in LDU2.

8.2.2.

LDU2 Installation

ATTENTION!

Minimum system requirement: 2 GB RAM. The minimum screen resolution is 1600x900.

INFO:

The Windows and the Mac application has the same look and functionality.

Download the software from

www.lightware.com/downloads
