Updating GPL (System Software) or FPGA (Firmware)
Both GPL (the system software) and the FPGA firmware may be upgraded in the field.
Step Action
1.
Obtain the appropriate upgrade software from Precise, in the form of a .bin file.
2.
In the Operator Interface, go to the Utilities/System Upgrade menu.
3.
Click Open ROMDISK/bin. This will open an FTP window. Select page in the browser, scroll to the
bottom of the page menu, and click Open site in Windows Explorer. This will open a second ftp
window in Windows. Paste the appropriate GPL or FPGA .bin file in this window.
4.
Under item 3 in the System Upgrade menu, click Select. A pick list will open up. Highlight the upgrade
code in this pick list and click Select again. The name of the file will appear in the filename field.
5.
In the menu, click on either FPGA or GPL to upgrade the appropriate file. The banner in the Upgrade
menu will start flashing for about 10 seconds while the flash RAM is being written with the new file.
Wait about 10 additional seconds after this banner stops flashing, then reboot the robot, and the new
code will be installed.
