Updating the Firmware
Usually your DS1104 board contains the latest firmware. If you install a
new dSPACE Release it may contain newer firmware. In this case the
firmware can be updated.
After you install the dSPACE Release, you can update the firmware.
The table below shows the path of the firmware installed from the
dSPACE Release. You have to specify this path if you update your
firmware manually.
Current version The firmware installed in the board’s flash memory is the current
firmware version. It is detected automatically by the Platform Manager.
Available version The firmware contained in your current dSPACE installation is the
available firmware version. The Platform Manager detects it
automatically.
Required version The firmware needed by an application you download to your
real-time processor is the required firmware version. This information
is shown on the Advanced page of the Firmware Management dialog.
N
The firmware is downward compatible: You can download an
application to your hardware if the current firmware version is higher
than or equal to the required firmware version.
Boot firmware Since Release 3.4, the flash application is no longer deleted by a
firmware update. The flash application and the bootstrap code are
saved before and loaded after the update.
