Bootloader features
You can select several bootloader options using the terminal menu keyboard.
Resetting the LongView 1000R receiver from the terminal menu
Once bootloader is active, you can exit the menu and reset the device by typing 0.
LongView 1000R receiver upgrade via XMODEM
Option 1 allows you to program the bootloader or the application of the LongView 1000R receiver.
The update file has to be sent via XMODEM from the terminal software after this option is chosen.
The LongView 1000R receiver will verify that the transferred file is valid for the device after it has
received the first six XMODEM blocks. If a wrong file is sent, the update is cancelled. During the
transfer, the terminal will provide a progress display. After the transfer, the flashed data is checked
and the device reboots.
The LongView 1000R receiver may need both application and boot code updated. The update
release notes will specify whether one or both files are needed. Always update the boot code
followed by the application.
