5.4 Updating using SoftLoad Commands
Use SoftLoad to update a receiver.
1. Open a connection to any port on the receiver.
2. Request the SOFTLOADSTATUSA log using the following command:
LOG SOFTLOADSTATUSA ONCHANGED
.
3. Initialize SoftLoad with a
SOFTLOADRESET
command. This command stops all tracking on the
receiver to ensure sufficient memory is available for the loading process. A RXSTATUSEVENTA log
reports a SoftLoad In Progress status.
4. Open the *.HEX firmware file.
5. Send each line of the *.HEX file to the receiver in a
SOFTLOADSREC
command. The S-Records must
be enclosed by quotation marks:
SOFTLOADSREC "<S-RECORD>"
6. Send the
SOFTLOADCOMMIT
command.
7. During the loading process, SOFTLOADSTATUSA logs report the load status. Wait for the
SOFTLOADSTATUSA to indicate loading is
COMPLETE
.
8. Send the new auth-code for the receiver with the following special case of the AUTH command:
AUTH ADD_DOWNLOAD
<auth-code>
9. Reset the receiver by entering
RESET
,
FRESET
or power cycling.
10. Once the receiver resets, the new version of firmware is active.

Use SoftLoad if automated loading is required or the platform used to communicate with the
receiver if not supported by WinLoad.

Refer to Section 5.3.1.1, Types of Firmware Files on page 37 for details on updating versus
upgrading .

The SoftLoad process can be canceled safely at any time during the process using the
RESET
command.
