The Update Firmware page allows the firmware running on the main PIC, front panel PIC, digital
signal processor. To be updated, the username is “admin” and the password is “ultra”.
Firmware is usually delivered in a software package that includes new versions of the code for
each processor. The suggested order for updating is: Main, Front, DSP. Look at the versions of
each piece of code in the software package. If one of the versions is already installed in the
JSD-‐60, that portion of the JSD-‐60 does not need to be updated. The currently installed
firmware version is shown on the Update button for each processor.
Press the appropriate “Browse” button to select the file to be downloaded to the JSD-‐60. Press
the appropriate “Update” button. During the update, the front panel display will show the
“Updating Firmware” message. After an update of the main processor, the JSD-‐60 will reset to
start executing the new code. The browser will disconnect at that time.
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
until the front shows the “Updating Firmware” message. When the code has been restored,
the display will reinitialize as the JSD-‐60 restarts. This only restores the main PIC firmware, not
the DSP and front panel firmware. Ensure the versions for each are from the same code
package.
The JSD-‐60 also has two “hidden” web pages. /ConfigFlash.html shows the contents of the
configuration flash. If desired, this can be saved to a file and read into the JSD-‐60 GUI. Similarly,
/ConfigSD.html shows the configuration file saved on the SD card.
