ThermwareversionsofthePCD3.Mxxx0areusuallydownwardcompatiblein

termsofhardware,sothatevenoldCPUscanbeequippedwithnewrmwareto

benetfromnewfunctions.Thispropertyishighlyvalued,andwetrytokeepitas

long as possible; however, we cannot guarantee it.

ThermwareofthePCD3.Mxxx0isstoredinaashEPROM,whichissolderedto

themotherboard.Armwareupdateispossiblebydownloadinganewversionwith

the PG5. The procedure is as follows:

● Downloadthecurrentrmwareversionfromwww.sbc-support.com

● Establish a connection between the PG5 and the CPU, as for the download of

an application (depending on the available options such as serially with PGU

cable, modem

, USB, Ethernet)

● Opentheonlineconguratorandgoo󰀪ine

● In the Tools menu, select Download Firmware, then use the browse function to

selectthepathtotheleofthenewrmwareversion.Makesureonlyoneleis

selected for download

● Start the download

● After the download, the power supply of the Saia PCD

must not be interrupted

for 2 minutes (CPLD programming sequence). Otherwise it may happen that

the CPU is blocked in such a way that it has to be returned to the factory.

WhiletheRun/StopLEDashesslowly,thedownloadprocessisnotyetcom-

pleted.Onlywhenitashesfast,theprogrammingisnished.

1) A modem connection is not reliable. It may be that a modem is blocked in such a way that remote access is no

longer possible. In such cases, local intervention will be necessary. The other connection options are preferred.
