10.2.4 Example: Updating Software, Firmware, RollCall & Web Content Files

The example actions.txt file “Actions - S800.txt” contains all of the commands required to

update the Nucleus2 software, firmware, RollCall command set and web content files. This

allows a controller to be completely updated in a single operation. To create the bootable USB

memory stick see section 10.2.8.

Controller Software

The CentraController.rtb file contains the software for the Nucleus2 controller. Used to load

the CentraController.RTB file on the USB memory stick on to the Nucleus2 controller.

Controller Firmware

The PA1002.bin file contains the firmware for the Nucleus2 controller. Used to upgrade the

firmware in the serial EEPROM which loads code into the FPGA.

RollCall Command Set Files

The RollCall command set files are installed on the Nucleus2 controller by default and are

required when using RollCall to connect to the Sirius router. The RollCall Command Set files

only need to be added to the USB memory stick when a newer version is released.

Web Content Files

The Web Content files are installed on the Nucleus2 controller by default and are required

when using a web browser to connect to the Sirius router. When installed a web browser can

be used to update the Nucleus2 software (.RTB file) and to connect to the router using

RollCall (assuming the RollCall files are installed and enabled on the router controller). A

Diagnostics tab is also available for use by Snell customer support. The Web Content files

only need to be updated when a newer version is released.

PULL-LOGS Only available when running ControllerLoader.rta from

Workbench 3.14.2 and later

Used to move all of the controller logs from the Nucelus2

controller (drive C:) to the USB memory stick (drive D:).

Note: This command deletes the current log files from the

Nucleus2 controller once they have been moved to the USB

memory stick.

Optional parameter: D:\Directoryname\

Specifies the directory path name to move the controller logs to

(no spaces).

If the parameter is not used the log files are written to D:\logs\

Optional parameter: NON-FATAL
