Updating the Monitor/Loader
It is also possible to update the M/L itself. M/L updates are distributed as
application firmware files. The sole function of a M/L updater firmware is to update
the M/L (with the M/L code contained within the firmware).
To update the M/L:
·
Upload this updater firmware in the same manner used to upload the application
firmware (explained above).
·
Reboot your Bus Probe and let the updater firmware execute.
·
The updater firmware will go through displaying three distinctive status LED
patterns:
o — the Probe is preparing to update the M/L. Do not turn off the
power.
o — the Probe is updating the M/L. Do not turn off the power.
o — the M/L has been updated. You can now safely turn off the
power or reboot the Probe.
·
Upload the application firmware to make the Probe operational.
Status LEDs
Bus Probes feature two status LEDs — greed and red. LED patterns of Bus Probes
conform to Tibbo's standard LED patterns used on our programmable devices.
Here is the list of LED patterns supported by BP sensors:
·
During the device boot, after the Monitor/Loader (M/L) verifies the integrity of the
application firmware:
Green and red LEDs blinking in
turns at high speed
Application firmware is not loaded
or corrupted
·
When the M/L is in the firmware update mode:
Green LED is permanently on
The M/L is ready to receive a file
Green LED is flickering unevenly
The M/L is receiving a file
Green LED blinking at slow
speed
