6. Choose menu item (2). “Change serial baud rate”. Select 38400. When
presented with the “Please change your baud rate and press Return”
message, do so from within HyperTerminal via the File\Properties
menu, then choose Configure. If there is no response from the utility
after changing the baud rate, proceed with step 7.
7. After changing the baud rate, you may have to close and reenter
HyperTerminal. Press the Return key after HyperTerminal restarts. You
will see the FLASH Boot Utility Option menu again.
8. Select menu item “1) Download new Firmware Image”. Using the
Transfer menu in HyperTerminal, choose Send Text File and send the
firmware. You will see a “Receiving code for System Version <ver>”
message, followed by a series of \ | / - characters cycling at the end of
the line. At 9600 baud, the download will take between 45-60 minutes.
At 38400, it should take around 10-12 minutes. At completion, you will
see the FLASH Programming complete message, followed by the
FLASH Boot Utility Options menu again.
9. Select item 9, Restart Controller. You will be instructed to reset the
baud rate back to 9600, which you will again do from the
HyperTerminal File\Properties\Configure menu. As in step 7, you will
probably have to exit and restart HyperTerminal to get any response.
Press the Enter key when Hyperterminal restarts. Your firmware should
now be upgraded.
