Correcting a Failed Upgrade Procedure
Firmware upgrades may fail in the event of network interruptions,
power failures, or if files were sent to the wrong 6800+ module.
These problems can be corrected by re-installing the firmware while in
Boot Loader mode, as described below. When you are performing this
procedure, check the appropriate readme file to confirm which files are
needed. Use care to ensure that you upload the correct files to the
HMX6801+ module.
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware in Boot Loader mode:
1. Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our
Web site or from your CD-ROM, and then unzip the upgrade
package.
2. If the HMX6801+ module has not been discovered by your CCS
software application, enter Build mode, and then discover your
module using the drag-and-drop method. See “Discovering Devices
Using the Drag-and-Drop Method” on page 19 for more
information.
3. Double-click the device icon for the HMX6801+ module.
The Configuration... box opens. On the File Transfer tab, the
/frameX/slotY (where X is the frame number and Y is the slot
number) directory appears in the Select the device directory to
transfer to: field.
4. Click Add, and in the Add Upgrade Files box, browse, select the
HMX6801+ module’s upgrade package and then click OK.
5. On the File Transfer tab, choose the file you wish to upgrade and
then click OK.
6. Click Perform Transfer and then click Ye s.
This may take several minutes.
7. When the message File transfer to device succeeded appears in
the status bar, reboot the HMX6801+ module by manually pullling
it out and then pushing it back into its slot in the frame.
You cannot click Reboot Device to reboot HMX6801+ modules.
Your upgrade procedure is complete.
To successfully upgrade the
firmware, you must follow these
steps in the exact sequence
described.
You must delete unwanted files
in the Add upgrade files for
transfer to device: field before
transferring the files. Otherwise,
the upgrading procedure will
fail.
