Updating the @CHIP RTOS
You can download updates for your IPC@CHIP
®
’s RTOS from our website. These updates
may then easily be applied using IPC@CHIPTOOL.
1. Right-click on your IPC@CHIP
®
in the main window of @CHIPTOOL.
2. Select
Program flash image
from the pop-up menu.
3. The
Program flash image dialog
will appear.
4. Fill the field
Load file
with the path of the RTOS hex file. You may use the button on the
left to open a file browsing dialog.
You now have two options to load the update to your IPC@CHIP
®
. If you want to load the hex
file via the serial interface follow the steps on the left, if you prefer uploading it via Ethernet
follow the steps on the right. Loading the update via the serial interface should always work.
An Ethernet update presumes a running RTOS. So if your RTOS does not boot any more you
have to use the serial update.

DB54 with a serial interface of your PC.
6. Select the respective COM port in the
port selection box.
7. Press

button of your DB54 to
reboot your IPC@CHIP

your network.

or

is filled correctly.

the
Start
button in the section

while the flash is programmed.
