Updating Firmware
From time to time, it becomes necessary to reprogram components on boards
in your Profile disk recorder or video file server. For example, when you install
MPEG boards in a PDR200, you must upgrade components on the Master
Enhanced Disk Recorder (EDR) board. Updating the firmware in the selected
components of these boards ensures that software and hardware will function
together as expected.
To successfully update the EDR board, it must be Revision 2 or higher. You can
determine the revision level of the boards by consulting the Profile log. For
information on reading logs, see “Viewing Profile Logs” on page 203.
NOTE: This procedure applies if: 1) You are field-installing MPEG
boards in a system that is not MPEG-ready; or 2) You are field-
installing an EDR board. Systems with these boards installed in the
factory (serial number B030000 and higher) are already updated.
The reprogramming is based on references in the file c:\profile\edr_isp.all. Do
not alter this file in any way as it may lead to incorrect programming of parts.
To update firmware:
1. Close any applications that may be running on the system.
2. At a command line, type
vdrsvc -stop
and then press Enter. This stops the
PDR Access Service.
3. Choose
Start | Programs | PDR Debug Tools | Update EDR Firmware
or double-
click the
Update EDR Firmware
icon. A window appears.
4. The program warns you to shutdown any applications that may be running
and to stop the PDR Access Service. If you have already done so, as
instructed in steps 1 and 2, type
Y
. Otherwise, type
N
