Firmware Reprogramming
Occasionally, there may be a requirement to upgrade the embedded firmware inside the iGC. This
upgrade may be to update the system to a more recent version that may include additional features, or
may be to load a custom firmware version for a specific task.
Programming is performed simply by using the Programming & Test cable and a laptop or desktop PC.
Refer to Appendix K for details of the programming cable.
The replacement firmware will be provided by Tritech, together with the required PC utility programme
that is used to transfer the replacement firmware from the PC to the iGC. Full instructions are always
supplied with the firmware files, but the following is an outline of the procedure to be followed:
1. Connect up the iGC to the laptop or PC COM port using the Programming cable.
2. Connect a 12-24V DC power supply to the iGC.
3. Ensure that the ‘Direct’ switch is OFF.
4. Switch ON the Programming switch.
5. Run up the programming utility on the laptop or PC.
6. Apply power to the iGC.
7. Transfer the new / replacement .bin file to the iGC using the programming software.
8. Monitor programming progress / status.
9. Once complete, power down the iGC and return the Programming switch to OFF.
10. Power up the iGC and test the revised firmware using a terminal programme, host system
or the iGC Navigation Display software.
