5 Upgrading the CPU cards
This chapter describes how to upgrade the Boot PROM, CPLD and application code for the
CPU cards, two of which are fitted to the Eclipse HX-Median, Eclipse HX-Omega and
Eclipse HX-Delta matrices.
Note: This guide is laid out in the order in which you must upgrade your Eclipse HX software
and hardware devices. For a quick reference to upgrading your system, see
3Quick reference: Upgrading to Eclipse HX.
Eclipse HX devices are powered by mains voltage. Unless
specifically advised to the contrary, disconnect mains supply before
carrying out any maintenance or repair tasks. Observe precautions
for handling electrostatic sensitive devices.
Changing the CPU card PROM, RAM and DIP switch settings
The CPU card PROM and RAM should be changed at the same time. The CPU card DIP
switch settings must also be upgraded.
5.1 Changing the CPU card PROM
Note: When you change the CPU card PROM, you must also change the CPU card RAM (from
128Mb RAM to 256Mb RAM). See 5.2 Changing the CPU card RAM below.
To change the CPU card PROM:
1) Ensure that you have the following equipment:
• 2MBit PROM device (ST M27W201 or equivalent).
• PROM Programming Unit (with the appropriate programming software for that
unit).
• The *.s record file for the CPU card boot PROM. To find the file, go to:
Drivers USB > ECLIPSE DRIVERS > Omega-Median-Delta > xxxxxx – Config
Boot PROM
Where xxxxxx represents the product number.
.
The folder contains the *.s record file and a Read Me file (*.txt), with version
information.
2) Program the PROM device with the *.s record file. Follow the instructions for the
PROM Programming Unit you are using.
Note: Ensure that the PROM device is empty before you begin programming.
3) Ensure that the checksum of the programmed device matches the checksum in
the Eclipse HX Release Notes.
