THE CONET2 PROTOCOL AND THE PREVIOUS CONET1 PROTOCOL ARE NOT COMPATIBLE. PLEASE, REFER
THE
APPLICATION NOTE “AN
2472 CONET1 TO CONET
2 MIGRATION” (CAEN W
EBSITE AT: HOME /
DOCUMENT LIBRARY) FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO UPGRADE YOUR SYSTEM FROM CONET1 TO
CONET2.
IT IS STRONGLY SUGGESTED TO UPGRADE ONLY ONE OF THE STORED FIRMWARE REVISIONS
(GENERALLY THE STD ONE): IF BOTH REVISION ARE SIMULTANEOUSLY UPDATED AND A FAILURE
OCCURS, IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO UPLOAD THE FIRMWARE AGAIN AND THE BOARD MUST BE SENT
TO CAEN IN REPAIR!
In case of failures while programming the STD page of the FLASH on the A2719
mezzanine, compromising the communication with the V2718, the user can perform the
following recovering procedure as first attempt:
- Power off the crate and extract the V2718
- Set the dedicated jumper on the A2719 to the BKP position
- Insert the V2718 in the crate and power on
- Use CAENUpgrader to read the A2719 firmware revision (in this case the one of the
BKP copy). If this succeeds, it is possible to communicate again with the board
- Use CAENUpgarder to upload a compliant firmware on the STD page of the
A2719’s
FLASH
- Power off the crate and extract the V2718
- Set the dedicated jumper on the A2719 back to the STD position
- Insert the V2718 in the crate and power on
- Use CAENUpgrader to read the firmware revision (in this case the one of the STD copy)
so that the board is operative again
In case the procedure above also fails, the board needs to be sent back to CAEN in
repair (see §
At Power On (or after pushing the SYSRES button for 2 s at least), the selected firmware
revision is also shown by the A00..A15 front panel leds.
