To update the main BIOS copy you need to perform the following actions:
1. Turn on the CPC307 module and boot in the standard mode using the main BIOS copy.
2. Copy the VXDXBIOS folder from the relevant section of the FTP server
(
ftp://ftp.prosoft.ru/pub/Hardware/Fastwel/CPx/CPC307/Software/
).
Place the updated BIOS image (e.g. c307v310.bin) in the copied folder.
3. Run the BIOS main copy updater from the VXDXBIOS folder. You must specify the BIOS image
file name for the update as the parameter:
C:\VXDXBIOS\vxdxbios.exe c307v311.bin
If the update is successful the program will show the following messages:
Load file C:\VXDXBIOS\c307v311.bin...
START FLASH ERASE
FLASH ERASE OK. ERASE TIME 4.62 S
FLASH WRITE OK
FLASH VERIFY OK
AM29F040B loaded successfully
4. After updating the main BIOS copy you must restart the module. To do this, just power off and
then power on the module, or press the SW1 reset key, or reset the module via the opto-isolated
reset signal.
After resetting the module, the optimal (factory) BIOS Setup settings can be loaded. If necessary,
enter the BIOS Setup, change the required parameters, save and exit (paragraph 5.7 Exit).
5. Make sure that the module is booted from the main BIOS copy:
a. jumper XP21 is installed and jumper XP26 is removed. The WDT2 watchdog timer must not be
triggered during booting (paragraph
4.3.15.2 WDT2 watchdog timer
). Make sure that WDT2 has
not been triggered, which can be verified by the LED connected to the XP3 connector (paragraph
4.3.21 LED indication
). You can also check the date and version of the BIOS when going through
the POST procedure and in the BIOS Setup menu (
Section 5 Basic Input/Output System
(BIOS)
).
b. XP21 jumper is removed or both XP21 and XP26 jumpers are installed at the same time. The
module always boots from the master copy only. If the module boots, the upgrade is successful.
If the module boots from the main BIOS copy, then the upgrade was successful.
To update the BIOS backup copy you must perform the following steps:
1. Install the jumper XP21, and do not install jumper XP26. Otherwise the backup copy cannot be
updated.
2. Turn on the CPC307 module and boot up in a routing mode from the main BIOS copy. The
WDT2 watchdog timer must not be triggered during the boot (par.
4.3.15.2 WDT2 watchdog
timer
). You can verify that WDT2 has not been triggered by the LED indication connected to the
XP3 connector (paragraph
4.3.21 LED indication
). You can also check the date and version of the
BIOS when going through the POST procedure and in the BIOS Setup menu (Section
5 Basic
Input/Output System (BIOS)
).
