CoCo-80 On-Line Updates
The CoCo-80 application software has the capability to check for software updates
from the CI web server when you connect the CoCo-80 device to the Internet. You
first connect the CoCo-80 to a local network using regular Ethernet. After you
connect it, press Setup button and click the Update icon. The CoCo-80 will first
check the connection status, and then a connection will be established.
After communication is established, the CoCo-80 will check with the server to
verify if the software subscription is valid. If the CoCo-80 is in the valid software
subscription period, it will then check the latest software components available on
the server and download them to the CoCo-80 after the user’s approval.
Two types of software components can be updated:
CoCo-80 application software
CSA projects
The CoCo-80 user interface will always ask the user’s confirmation before the
software is downloaded. When the new CoCo-80 application software is
downloaded, you will be asked to confirm to overwrite the old version with the
new version. Then the older version will be overwritten.
