7.9.2.2 LRU Software Loading Information
G3X LRUs, (except for GDUs) will automatically receive software updates from the PFD following a GDU
software update. This process may take up to ten minutes for all LRUs connected to the high-speed CAN
bus. The GDL 5XR is connected via RS-232 and may take up to 30 minutes to update software.
Progress of LRU software updates can be monitored using the System Information page in configuration
mode. Functionality provided by an LRU will be unavailable during a software update, therefore, all LRU
software updates should be allowed to complete before flight after a GDU software update.
The current LRU software versions included with a GDU software update can be found in the change
notes on the software download page.
7.9.3 Software Load Confirmation
Perform software load confirmation after the software has been loaded to the G3X GDU(s) and LRUs.
1. Start the G3X GDUs in configuration mode (reference Section 3.2.2) as required.
2. Use the Touch Panel or a Move Selector Knob to select and view the System Information Page.
3. Ensure there is a green checkmark
next to all installed G3X LRUs.
4. Scroll the Device List box and select device’s info by using the Touch Panel or a Move Selector
Knob as necessary to verify the software and version numbers installed in the system.
