2.12 Upgrading the AdderView's flash memory
The AdderView DVI uses flash memory technology which enables the firmware code
to be upgraded by the user. Upgrades are performed by connecting a PC's serial
port to the AdderView's options port and running an upgrade program on the PC.
This upgrade program downloads the new firmware to the AdderView and checks
that the data has been programmed correctly.
To perform a firmware upgrade on your AdderView DVI you will need a suitable
serial upgrade cable and an IBM PC compatible computer with an RS232 serial port
and an operating system that supports DOS. Upgrade cables may be purchased for
Adder Technology or may be made using the wiring specification given in Appendix
A4. You will also need to download the latest version of the AdderView DVI firmware
which is available free of charge at www.addertec.com.
To perform a flash upgrade on the AdderView DVI:
Step 1 - Connect your computer to the AdderView
Connect your computer's serial port to the AdderView DVI's options port (labelled
OPTIONS/FLASH).
Step 2 - Select flash upgrade mode using option switch 7
Move option switch 7 on the underside of the AdderView DVI to the ON position.
Step 3 - Reset the AdderView DVI
Reset the AdderView DVI by moving option switch 8 to the ON position (halt and
reset) and then back to the OFF position (normal operation). Alternatively you may
reset the AdderView by powering off all the attached computers and removing the
optional power adapter.
