8. UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE
8.1. OVERVIEW
The firmware in the 7725DSK-LG is contained on a FLASH EPROM. Occasionally firmware updates
will be provided to add additional features to the unit. The firmware update can be initiated using
either the front panel, a terminal program or through the Overture™ software applications. The
Overture™ based upgrade is the recommended method.
You will need the following equipment in order to update the Firmware:
• A PC with an available communications port. The communication speed is 57600 baud, therefore
a 486 PC or better with a 16550 UART based communications port is recommended.
• “Straight-thru” serial extension cable (DB9 female to DB9 male).
• Terminal program that is capable of Xmodem file transfer protocol (such as HyperTerminal).
• Overture™ application (recommended).
• New firmware supplied by Evertz.
• Available Ethernet port
• Available serial port
"
After upgrading the 7725DSK-LG with new firmware, all presets should be recalled
using the Recall Preset menu item, the values for new features must be set, and the
preset must be saved again using the Store Preset menu item.
IF THIS IS NOT DONE, OLD PRESETS COULD BE RECALLED WITH UNDESIRABLE
SETTINGS.
