5.0 ISG Fi FPGA Upgrade Process
This process will use the ISG Camera Control GUI application software on the host PC,
to update firmware and/or FPGA code on the ISG 1394 camera. The camera’s
firmware/FPGA code is loaded through the 1394 interface using the ISG GUI.
A customer wishing to do a firmware or FPGA upgrade should perform the following
steps:
1) Extract, and copy the firmware/FPGA binary data files to a directory on your host PC.
The files are named isgcpu_ccxx_xxxx.bin for updating the camera firmware, and
isgfpga_ccxx_xxxx.bin for updating the camera hardware (i.e. FPGA device code). The
ccxx field represents the camera type, and the xxxx field will hold the version number.
2) To upgrade the firmware on the camera, start by running the ISG Lightwise GUI. Note
that the ISG supplied driver for the camera must be installed in order to use the ISG GUI.
It is recommended that the camera viewer window be closed before continuing.
3) Click on the “Camera Control Dialog” button on the ISG GUI.
4) Select the “Camera Setup” tab from the Camera Control Dialog page. The Camera
Setup page can be used to update either the firmware or the FPGA code of the camera, or
both.
5) Use the browse button (labeled “…”) to search for and select either the isgcpu or
isgfpga binary file defined in step 1 above, depending on which part of the camera you
are updating.
6) To begin the actual download procedure, click on the “Download to CPU” or
“Download to HW” button as appropriate. A popup box will ask if you are sure that you
want to continue the process.
7) Confirm that you are sure you want to proceed with the upgrade by answering, "yes"
within the confirmation popup dialog. Once confirmed, insure that this process is not
interrupted (i.e. maintain 1394 cable connection). The progress bar will show the status
of the update. Note that an FPGA update will take a few minutes to complete. The
process is completed once the dialog states "Done" on the download button. At this
point, the camera is upgraded with new firmware/FPGA code.
8) Exit the GUI. Power cycle the camera by disconnecting and reconnecting the 1394
cable to allow the new code to be executed.
