Note:

If you are upgrading from v5.2.4 to Eclipse HX v7.5, the download dialog does not
automatically finish. This is due to a messaging change between the two system
architectures. Instead, close the dialog (which will continue to indicate Verifying) when the
Eclipse HX-PiCo reboots (see Step 10).

10. When the update is completed, click Finish in the Firmware Update wizard. The Eclipse HX-

PiCo reboots. The CPU is reset.

Note:

The OK LED double flashes to indicate that valid application code is present, but that there is
no configuration in the cards. Download a configuration file (*.hxn or *.ccn format), using
EHX.

6.4.2 Upgrading the Eclipse HX-PiCo application code using EHX

with a serial connection

You can upgrade the Eclipse HX-PiCo application code using EHX with a serial link, whether or not
there is a valid configuration (map) on the matrix. With EHX, it is possible to perform the initial
upgrade 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 an
Eclipse HX-PiCo with a configuration.

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.

RS232 serial cable

Use a RS232 cable with DB9 to 3.5mm jack
connectors (a CellCom / FreeSpeak (FSBP)
registration cable (PD4007Z)).

EHX installation

EHX must be configured and operational.

An EHX configuration file (*.hxn
or *.ccn)

The configuration file must have the appropriate IP
address set.

The appropriate *.fwr data file for
the Eclipse HX-PiCo

You can find the *.fwr data file on the software DVD
at:

Software DVD > Eclipse HX-PiCo > xxxxxxZ –
Application
(where xxxxxxZ represents the part
number).

Table 12: Required equipment

2. Start EHX. Select File > Matrix connection.
