3.17. Firmware update procedure
This instruction informs step by step how to upgrade firmware in OSCAR-N SAS controller to
latest version. In example given below we assume that latest version of firmware is
10.92
and in
controller we have version older than the one that we want to upload into controllers memory eg.
0.89.
Latest version of software is always available for downloading at our website:
http://www.europegas.pl/en/Technical-Support/Software
If controller has been already calibrated and set up please try to remember the present settings as
there is a risk of loosing then after firmware update and it will be necessary to set up the controller
manually from the beginning.
1.
We are turning on the ignition key to give +12V to the controller (we can turn to ACC
position or just start the car).
ATTENTION: Don't loose the +12V from the key during firmware update process as it will
interrupt the communication between OSCAR-N SAS controller and PC. In result controller
can get damaged .
2.
We start OSCAR-N SAS software and after establishing
connection with the PC (
„Settings loaded”
message box will
appear) we are choosing from main menu:
File -> Upload
Firmware
3.
In new opened window we are choosing file
„firmware_sas_10_92.img”
and we are confirming start of
uploading firmware. In bottom right part of program window
we can observe the status of updating progress.
4.
After finishing updating process message with information that
firmware has been updated successfully will appear. We need to confirm it by pressing OK.
It is not necessary to turn off and turn on power supply of the controller.
ATTENTION!!!: After uploading the new firmware please don't try to "Load" the previously
saved settings (which eventually have been saved before firmware update).
In case of above way of update will fail we should:
1.
Disconnect with the controller (status in left bottom part of software window will be
“Disconnected”)
2.
Choosing from main menu:
“File -> Upload Firmware”
and select the firmware that You
want to update
3.
Follow the instruction displayed by the software.
