16 Appendix D
– Upgrading Firmware/Software
Overview
This section describes the procedure to use when upgrading the firmware/software components in an iRIS.
The upgrade procedure has been carried out many times without issue. However, because the process does
involve erasing and reprogramming of flash memory, it is important that a good, securely connected power
supply is provided to the iRIS throughout the upgrade process.
File Naming Conventions
iRIS Executive Firmware
The “Firmware” in the iRIS is analogous to the operating system in a PC. It is the Firmware that contains all
the low level functions and library routines used by the Application Software.
The iRIS firmware is available as a single file for downloading and flash upgrading using iLink 2012. The
upgrade file is in the format:
iRIS350FX_Firmware_xxx.bin
where:
xxx is the firmware version
e.g.
iRIS350FX_Firmware_150.bin
iRIS 350FX Firmware, Version Vx/1.50
The default repository for the firmware files is C:\ProgramData\iQuest\iLink2\Programs.
iRIS Application Software
The “Application Software” in the iRIS is analogous to an application such as Word® on a PC. It is the software
that contains the general functionality of the iRIS. This comes in three sections or “banks” (due to the memory
configuration of the iRIS) but runs as if it were one single program.
The common software upgrade files for Banks 1, 2 and 3 are always in the format:
iRIS350FX_xxxx_yyy_z.irx
where:
xxxx is the communication type (Cellular (Wavecom or Maxon), NoModem, Ethernet or Iridium).
yyy is the software version
z is the program bank that this file should be loaded into
e.g. iRIS350FX_Cellular_140_1.350fx iRIS 350FX Software, Cellular, Version 1.40, Bank 1
The default repository for the program files is the “Programs” folder under iLink.
