Select a SIRIUS Station number to put into boot mode 

 

Go to the BootLoader program. In the right pane, Station IDs should be visible. Now 

you can go directly to the firmware update. 

 

Using  the  File/Open  dialog  (or  by  pressing  Ctrl  +  O)  select  the  firmware  file 

(miniMS_v_X)  .lzt  previously  downloaded  to  the  PC,  where  X  is  the  firmware 
version).  Click  the  “Open”  button.  If  the  file  does  not  determine  the  device’s 

ownership or the file is damaged, an error message will be displayed. To deselect a 
file - click the cross next to its name.  

 

With the correct choice of firmware, the “Start” button becomes active, by clicking 

on  which  the  process  of  flashing  microcontrollers  begins.  Progress  bars  at  the 
same time show the percentage of completion of the operation.  The process can 

be stopped by clicking on the “Stop” button. 

 

At  the  end  of  the  firmware,  SIRIUS  Stations  automatically  go  into  standby  mode 

(the  panel  LEDs  light  up  and  fade  alternately  in  different  colors),  connect  to  the 
server,  and  information  about  them  reappears  in  the  status  bar  of  the  ARENA 

game devices.  

If some devices fail during firmware, the procedure should be repeated. 

11.4.

 

Multistation firmware update 

As  well  as  SIRIUS  Station,  the  Multistation  can  be  put  into  boot-mode  only  from  the 

ARENA program. 

The sequence is as follows: 

 

Launch ARENA and BootLoader programs.  

 

Turn on Multistations that need to update firmware. 

 

Wait for its connection with the server and the appearance of information about it 

in the ARENA program.  

 

 Check  firmware  version.  If  it  differs  from  the  installed  one,  or  there  is  a  need  to 

update the current one, continue the procedure.
