10. Click Next. Confirm that the correct file has been selected, and click Next again to start the
firmware update. The update will take approximately 2 minutes.
Tip: While the update is in progress, check that the SI LED on the front of the CPU card(s) is
flashing rapidly. Rapid flashes indicate communication with the PC.
11. When the update is completed, click Finish in the Firmware Update wizard.
The Eclipse HX-Median / Eclipse HX-Omega / Eclipse HX-Delta (matrix) matrix reboots. The
CPU card(s) is reset.
Download a configuration file (apply changes), using EHX.
Note:
The CPU card uses a default configuration that is embedded in the download application (even
though the CPU DOT matrix display shows zero (0)). The default configuration helps with the initial
hardware configuration and testing of the Eclipse HX-Median / Eclipse HX-Omega / Eclipse HX-Delta
matrix by providing usable functionality to each of the MVX-A16 cards fitted to the matrix.
5.4.2 Upgrading the CPU card application code with EHX using a
serial link
You can upgrade the CPU card with EHX using a serial link, whether or not there is a valid
configuration (map) on the Eclipse HX-Median / Eclipse HX-Omega matrix / Eclipse HX-Delta. Both
CPU cards may remain inserted during the upgrade. You may choose to perform the initial upgrade
with EHX using a serial connection, then move to an Ethernet connection for future configuration
downloads and upgrades, once an IP address has been configured.
Note:
Before you use this procedure, check that the matrix event log can connect serially to a CPU card with
a configuration. Both CPU cards may remain inserted during the upgrade.
To upgrade the application code with EHX, using a serial link:
1. Ensure that you have the following equipment:
Required equipment Description / comments
PC with either a serial port
connection or USB-to-serial port
adaptor If using a USB-to-serial port adaptor cable, you must
connect the cable before starting EHX to enable
EHX to detect the USB port as a COM port.
Standard RS232 serial cable
(9-pin D-Type to 9-pin D-Type) -
EHX installation EHX must be configured and operational.
An EHX configuration file (*.hxn or
*.ccn format) The configuration file must have the appropriate IP
addresses set.
The appropriate *.fwr data file for
the CPU card application You can find the *.fwr data file on the software DVD:
Software DVD > Eclipse HX-Omega-Median-Delta
> xxxxxZ – Config application code
(where xxxxxxZ represents the product number).
