3.2.2 Downloading RTOS updates
New @CHIP-RTOS versions can be easily downloaded to the IPC@CHIP using the CHIPTOOL.
Select the @CHIP-RTOS | Program Flash menu option to get the following dialog. Here select the
Intel-Hex image file that you want to load. The ‘fileopen’ button on the right of the Load file field allows
you to browse for the desired Intel-Hex image file containing the new @CHIP-RTOS version.
You have two options for transferring a new @CHIP-RTOS into the IPC@CHIP. The transfer can be
done either via the IPC@CHIP’s EXT RS-232 interface (Port 0) or via the TCP/IP network path. The
RS-232 interface relies only upon a valid Bootstrap loader being present in the IPC@CHIP which
should always be the case. So when all else fails, use the EXT RS-232 port (Port 0) on the
IPC@CHIP for @CHIP-RTOS download.
The RS-232 communication for downloading is handled by either an existing @CHIP-RTOS or the
IPC@CHIP’s Bootstrap loader. If for some reason your existing @CHIP-RTOS is not valid
11
, you will
need to cycle the power on the IPC@CHIP so that the CHIPTOOL can get the attention of the resident
Bootstrap loader.

The existing @CHIP-RTOS could be invalid due to, for example, an IPC@CHIP power loss during the @CHIP-RTOS Flash
programming cycle.
