Updating Software
The Eclipse Operating System and Factory Presets are field-upgradeable using tools available from Even-
tide. These updates can be done with one of two approaches:
an “Upgrade Card” (a specially coded CompactFlash card)
via “OUpdate” (a special Windows Application).
The latest Eclipse software and the software tools described below can be obtained via the Eventide Web
Site http://www.eventide.com/.
Creating an “Upgrade Card”
In order to create an “Upgrade Card,” you must have access to the Eventide website, a PC with a Compact
Flash card reader, and an application (e.g., WinZip) that can open and extract zip files. (You may have
received an “Upgrade Card” directly from Eventide, in which case you can skip this section.)
1.
Download the “Card Upgrade” file from the Eventide website. This file will generally be in the form
of a zip file.
2.
Insert a blank, formatted CompactFlash card into the card reader attached to your PC.
3.
Unzip the files from the Card Upgrade zip file and copy them to the CompactFlash card.
Updating with a Memory Card
1.
Power down the Eclipse.
2.
Insert the “Upgrade Card” into the
MEMORY CARD
slot.
3.
While holding down the
1
key, power on the Eclipse.
4.
Wait patiently for the programming process to finish. If the programming process is successful, a
Programming Completed. Cycle Power
message will appear.
5.
Power down the Eclipse.
6.
Remove the “Upgrade Card” and go about your business. The programming process is complete.
Upgrade via the OUpdate Application
1.
Using your web browser, download the update application from the Eventide website (e.g.,
“eup2000.exe”), and save it to your computer.
2.
Power down the Eclipse.
3.
Connect a 9-pin “straight-through” Male-Female serial cable (Radio Shack p/n 26-117) between your
PC serial port and the Eclipse serial port.
4.
Start the OUpdate application (double-click on its icon), downloaded in step 1.
5.
While holding down the
2
key on the Eclipse, power up the Eclipse. You should see
Eventide Soft-
ware Update Utility Awaiting Contact
.
6.
If you have not connected the Eclipse to the COM1 port on your PC, you may need to use the “OUp-
date Setup” button to change the COM port. You should not change the default settings of 115200
baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
7.
press the Send button in the OUpdate application.
8.
Wait until both the Eclipse screen and OUpdate application indicate that programming has been com-
pleted.
9.
Power down the Eclipse. You’re done…
When you next restart the Eclipse, it will ask you if you want to clear the setup, i.e., return the system to
factory settings. You should say OK to this, and prepare yourself for the task of re-entering such SETUP
values as you have changed.
