3.6 – Flash Several Targets
This menu provides functions to access the PDA Flash memory.
3.6.1 – Ping Targets
This menu item verifies the validity of the communications channels to all
the targets that the external serial ports card supports, by sending a test
message to the targets. If the channels are fully functional, the targets
respond to the message requests.
The pinging can be repeated as soon as the other required targets have
replied. The user will not have time to boot up all eight targets all at once.
The output from the target shows the following:
how many targets responded
3.6.2 – Software Update
This menu provides means to update the PDA Flash memory in parallel
to all the targets from a file on the disk in the host. The enquired input
parameters from the user are:
Name of the Update default: none range: none
The user is expected to give the Name of the Update, i.e. the name of the
image file that will be programmed to the Flash memories of the target
PDAs. The name of the file must be given without extension.
The service software gets the extensions of the header file and the image
file from the PDA initialization file. The Software Update reads the image
file, sends it to the targets in blocks, erases the needed blocks of the
Flash, programs them and locks them.
