Option 3. Receive new main program or kernel from serial port (This card only)
When new main or kernel programs are available, they can be obtained from Rose Electronics or downloaded from

shows the Kernel and main program version that is presently installed.
You cannot update the flash memory using only a display terminal; you must use a standalone computer or
Notebook and the new main or kernel program saved on that computer. It is recommended that this procedure be
done on UltraMatrix #1, RS232 port #1. (Lower right RJ12 connector)
