Firmware is usually delivered in a Software Package that includes new versions of the code for
the all the processors. The suggested order for updating is: Main Board, Front Panel, DSP. Look
at the versions of each item of code in the software package. If one of the versions is already
installed in the JSD-‐60, that item need not be updated.
Select the device to be updated: Main board PIC, digital signal processor (DSP), or front panel.
Press the Browse button to select the file to be downloaded to the JSD-‐60. Press the Download
button. During the download, the front panel will indicate that the unit is Updating Firmware
on the JSD-‐60 display. After a download of the PIC (the main processor), the JSD-‐60 will reset to
start executing the new code. The GUI will disconnect at that time. If connected via a USB, the
cable will need to be unplugged and plugged back into the unit to restart an instance of the USB
device driver.
Note: If connected to the JSD-‐60 by Ethernet, use of a web browser is recommended to update
the main PIC. The web firmware update is considerably faster leaving less time for errors to be
introduced. Point a web browser to
http://192.168.7.40/protect/update.html
, substituting the
device IP address. The username is
admin
and the password is
ultra
. Use the top browse
button to select the file to be uploaded, then click the top button. The browser page will
timeout when the firmware is complete and the PIC starts rebooting.
PIC Firmware Restore
If a download of the PIC firmware to the JSD-‐60 is interrupted, the JSD-‐60 may be left
inoperable. To restore the original firmware, turn off the JSD-‐60, press buttons 4 (Option) and 6
(Non/Sync) on the front, then turn the power on while continuing to hold the buttons down.
The display will show "Firmware update running" during the firmware restore. When the
restore is completed, the JSD-‐60 will restart. Note that this restore operation only restores the
main processor, not the front panel processor or DSP. Failed updates of the front panel or DSP
can be repeated using the GUI without the need to use this restore procedure. Ensure that
firmware versions for each processor are from the same code package.
