Fig. 4-1: EB500 System Update
Uninterrupted Power
From this point onwards, ensure that power to the R&S
EB500 is not inter-
rupted. Failing to do so might result in a non-functional front panel.
The updater will then check if the FPC2 firmware (for the frontpanel key controller)
needs to be updated. FPC2 firmware will only be updated when the version on the
USB flash drive is newer than the version currently installed.
FPC2 Update
Do not interrupt the updating of the FPC2 firmware (e.g. removing the USB
flash drive or resetting the R&S
EB500). Keys on the front-panel might
become unusable if the updating process were interrupted.
Should the keys on front panel become unusable (not responsive), an external
keyboard (and a USB hub) would be needed to redo the FPC2 update.
Finally the actual update of the receiver firmware and the GUI software can start.
The update process can cater for more than one image. If the update was installed
on a USB flash drive that was previously used for updates, the menu below will
show more than one installer image. Use the ROTARY KNOB to select an image
and press ENT.
