Danfoss AK-SM 850 User Manual

The AK-SM can read & write to USB ash based drives. Upon
insertion (or via main menu option 7), the USB menu window will
be shown (for DIN units read following section). A typical
example of the resulting pop up screen can be seen below, with
descriptions for each option. The menu reects supported les
located on the USB memory stick, and may vary from the
example below. Ensure relevant software les are located in the
USB root directory. When updating your AK-SM it is recom-
mended to rst update the ‘Bootloader’ (if specied), followed by
the Master Application Image (MAI). The MAI contains AK-SM
rmware, EDF and Web les needed.

Remotely Upgrading you AK-SM unit - what is the FAI le
Your AK-SM has the ability to be upgraded via a remote connec-
tion (RMT). Upgrading via remote oers several advantages, the
obvious one being time saving. However, this is increased risk
when preforming remote upgrades (i.e. quality of connectivity,
power..). Software version 03_051 (and above) comes with an
additional extension, FAI (Factory Application Image). The FAI
software le contains special code designed to support remote
software upgrades. The FAI le provides a ‘fall back’ state, if at
any time a later remote upgrade fails or gets corrupted. Rather
than leave a unit in a unstable state in the event of a corrupted
remote upgrade, the factory image ensures you can always make
contact to re-install code again. In addition, the FAI contains the
MAI, which also contains all relevant web and EDF les. Via the
Info screen, check if your AK-SM unit has a Factory Application
installed. For future remote upgrades it is recommended that the
FAI is installed if it is not already present in your system. The AK-
SM can run without the FAI, with rmware updates being done
via the MAI le.
Under the Info->Information tab, check to see if a Factory Application
is installed (FAI).
If you intend to perform remote software updates, Danfoss recom-
mends the loading of the FAI le.

Recommended method for upgrading your AK-SM - Boot-
loader
The AK-SM bootloader le is a critical le that manages system
boot up sequence and system management. The Bootloader can
not be loaded remotely. Updating the bootloader can be done
in application mode (normal AK-SM operation) or when placed in
bootloder mode. The following description of how to upgrade
your Bootloder version is via normal AK-SM operation mode.
