Software Utility 8-136
ROM Flasher
The ROM Flasher is the software utility that supports firmware update of the 5976 Line
Display device and communicates through a USB or RS–232C serial connection. This
software is the initial window that displays when you launch the 5976 Software Utility.
Note: NCR 5977 uses the same ROMFlasher as NCR5976.
Updating Device Firmware
Warning: Please do not disconnect power while updating the firmware.
Note: The firmware version currently installed on the 5977 display device is briefly
displayed during start–up of the 5977, for example, 497–0499797 V1.14.01.
You can update the 5977 2x20 LCD firmware by using the ROM Flasher utility. To
update the device firmware, perform the following steps:
1. Launch the ROMFlasher by running ROMFlasher.exe as administrator.
The application displays the ROM Flasher user interface.
2. To load the firmware (*.fif file) into the ROM Flasher, select Browse beside the
ROM File field and locate the working directory where you extracted your firmware
files.
