Exchanging the System Software
Uploading Software from a PC using SUSI
The system software may also be uploaded from a PC or laptop, using
the FlashUpdate mode of the Sperry Universal Service Instrument appli-
cation (SUSI).
In the UpdateFlash mode, SUSI directly overwrites, or “flashes”, the
respective device’s memory with the contents of a hex-file. Authorized
field service personnel will be provided with the required files upon
request. Important bugfix releases or software improvements will be
announced to service representatives and customers via Sperry Marine
Hamburg service bulletins.
The instructions below assume that you have successfully installed
SUSI on a laptop or PC. The upload is carried out via an RS-232 or a USB
connection using SUSI‘s UpdateFlash mode. If you are using a USB con-
nection, you must also install the NAVITWIN IV USB device driver
included with SUSI.
In the Update Flash Mode, the update tab provides a file browser to
select the hex-file to write to the device’s memory. Hex-files issued by
Sperry Marine will usually be named such that the filename identifies
the devices type number and the firmware version.
If you have not yet installed the SUSI and/or the device driver, refer to
the SUSI Installation Guide, Sperry document no. 056358.
CAUTION
Risk of inoperable device state
Updating a device’s firmware using the FlashUpdate mode is a risky
operation, as SUSI writes directly to the device’s flash memory. Further-
more, SUSI cannot verify whether the file supplied is indeed intended for
the device under service.
Under adverse circumstances, a failed update attempt may leave the
device in an inoperable state from which it can only be recovered by
replacing the flash memory chip.
Always maintain a stable power supply during the update process.
Never interrupt an update in progress.
Note
The UpdateFlash Mode may equally be used either via RS-232 cable or
via USB standard connection.
For Sperry devices equipped with a USB port, the safer and more
convenient update mode via USB connection is recommended.
When SUSI is installed under Windows 10™, the UpdateFlash mode via
USB port is not available for the NAVITWIN IV CDU.
Note
The exemplary screens in the FlashUpdate mode procedure present are
produced with the SUSI application installed under Windows XP™.
For procedures with SUSI installed under Windows 7™ and higher, refer
to the SUSI Installation Guide, Sperry document no. 056358.
