FIRMWARE UPGRADE
VIII.1
Standard upgrade
Uploading a new version of the firmware is easily done from the web
interface page “TOOLS
Firmware upgrade”.
All previous configuration changes will be left unchanged.
VIII.2
Bootloader upgrade
The bootloader is a separate module which handles product bootup and
emergency upgrade. Since it is so essential, this is a critical upgrade and the
product might be damaged if a power failure happens during this upgrade.
So, you should upgrade the bootloader only if requested by ACKSYS in
order to avoid a product return.
Please respect the following recommendations:
-
be sure to use a robust power supply
-
choose a quiet desk instead of production line
-
wait until the complete product reboot before trying to
refresh the web page
-
do not hesitate to contact the ACKSYS support team
([email protected]) if you have any question
The bootloader upgrade package is available on our web site
(
www.acksys.fr
) and may be applied using the TOOLS/FIRMWARE
UPGRADE page in the internal web interface. The procedure uses the same
upgrade process than the regular firmware upgrade :
-
click the “Browse” button in order to select the upgrade file
-
click the “Execute” button in order to perform the upgrade
