10 Firmware Update
The L-DALI firmware supports remote upgrade over the network and the serial console.
To guarantee that the L-DALI is not destroyed due to a failed firmware update, the L-DALI
firmware consists of two images:
L-DALI fallback image,
L-DALI primary image.
The L-DALI fallback image cannot be changed. Thus, if the update of the primary image
fails or the image is destroyed by some other means, the fallback image is booted and
allows reinstalling a valid primary image.
When the L-DALI boots up with the fallback image, the CEA-709 port LED and the
STATUS LED are flashing red.
10.1 Firmware Update via the LINX Configurator (LDALI-10X only)
The L-DALI primary image can be updated using the LINX Configurator. For this purpose,
it is recommended to have the L-DALI connected to the Ethernet and to have a valid IP
configuration (see Section 5.2.2). The LINX Configurator must be installed (see Section
7.1.1).
